A senior Russian general was killed Tuesday by a bomb hidden in a scooter outside his apartment building in Moscow, a day after Ukraine’s security service leveled criminal charges against him. The general, who was the chief of the military’s nuclear, biological, and chemical protection forces, was targeted as he left for his office. His assistant also lost his life in the attack.
The deceased general, who was under sanctions from various countries for his involvement in Moscow’s war in Ukraine, had criminal charges filed against him by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) on Monday. The SBU has claimed responsibility for the attack, labeling the general as a 'war criminal and an entirely legitimate target.'
