THREE people have been killed in another suspected car bombing in Moscow.
Two police officers died in the attack just days after one of Vladimir Putin’s top generals was killed by an explosive device placed under his parked car.
Russia’s Investigative Committee said investigators are now inspecting the scene and carrying out forensic analysis from the overnight explosion.
This includes “medical and explosive examinations” on cars in the area near to Yasenevaya Street.
A blast was heard at around 1:30am local time, officials added.
Debris was strewn across a street which sits just minutes away from the area where a deadly car explosion wiped out Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov earlier in the week.
Sarvarov, 56, was notoriously known as the officer responsible for training Russia’s armed forces in the barbaric war with Ukraine.
He had fought in Chechnya and helped run Russia’s intervention in Syria.
His death marks the third senior Russian military leader to die this year in public attacks.
It remains unclear who was responsible for either of the deadly explosions this week.
But they are being seen as the latest flashpoints in an increasingly ruthless campaign of targeted assassinations stretching from Kyiv and Moscow to Spain.
His death follows a clear pattern of senior figures tied directly to the machinery of Putin’s war being hunted down inside Russia itself.
In April, Lt Gen Yaroslav Moskalik, a key figure in operational planning at Russia’s general staff, was killed by a car bomb in Moscow.
Earlier this year, Lt Gen Igor Kirillov, who ran Russia’s nuclear, chemical and biological protection forces, was killed by a remotely detonated device hidden inside an electric scooter.
Ukraine swiftly claimed responsibility for Kirillov’s killing.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky later said he had received reports about the successful “liquidation” of Russian military leaders, though he did not name Moskalik directly.
