A senior Russian general was shot multiple times inside an apartment building in Moscow on Friday morning in what officials described as an apparent assassination attempt.
Russia’s Investigative Committee said “an unidentified individual fired several shots” at Lieutenant General Vladimir Alekseyev before fleeing the scene. “The victim has been hospitalised,” the agency said, adding that efforts were under way to identify those responsible. Spokesperson Svetlana Petrenko confirmed that “investigative actions and operational search measures” were ongoing.
