Teams have been are examining the location, which is reportedly in a southern district of the city.

Reports state the explosion happened in a car park near a residential building.

Series of Incidents

Since the beginning of the extensive conflict in Ukraine, a series of Russian military officials have been subjected to assaults within Moscow.

This most recent event follows other notable incidents, including:

• General Yaroslav Moskalik was killed in a car bomb attack in Moscow earlier this year.
• General Igor Kirillov died in late 2024 when a device hidden on a scooter was triggered from afar.

While a source from Ukraine in the past linked Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such allegations are not formally acknowledged as a matter of policy.

The conflict has been marked by covert operations moving into the heart of the Russian capital.

The probe into General Sarvarov's death remains active.
