A senior Russian military general was killed Friday in a fiery car explosion in Moscow.
Yaroslav Moskalik, deputy head of the main operations directorate of the Russian armed forces, died when the vehicle blew up in the town of Balashikha, Russian media reported.
The bomb had been planted in a parked car and was detonated remotely as the officer, who lived nearby, walked past, law enforcement sources said.
Footage captured a vehicle entirely engulfed in flames near an apartment building just moments after the explosion.
Authorities haven’t officially confirmed any details of the incident, which comes a day after Russia launched its deadliest attack on Ukraine in almost a year.
