A Russian general was killed when a bomb detonated under his car in Moscow and investigators said Ukraine​ could be behind the attack.

Three people, including two police officers, were killed in an explosion in Moscow, Russian investigators said, days after a car bomb killed a high-ranking general not far away​.

Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov, head of the Operational Training Directorate at the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, was named as the high-ranking officer killed in the explosion. He oversees combat training for Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Three people died after the police officers approached a man acting suspiciously near the site where a senior general was killed two days ago by a car bomb.

Two police officers and a third person were killed early Wednesday by a bomb in Moscow, close to the scene of a car bombing that killed a top Russian general two days ago.

The incident took place in the same area of the Russian capital where Lt. Gen. Fanil Sarvarov was killed by a car bomb on Monday morning.

The Kremlin leader kept his speech short, spoke only briefly about the fighting in Ukraine, and did not mention U.S.-mediated talks on ending the war.

A senior Russian general was killed in Moscow after a bomb exploded in his car, according to investigators, who suggested Ukraine may be responsible for the assassination. This is the third time in the past 12 months that top Russian officers involved in the invasion of Ukraine have been killed in bomb attacks in the capital.
