Officials have been are examining the scene, which is reportedly in a southern district of the city.
Media coverage suggest the explosion took place in a vehicle lot near a residential building.
Series of Incidents
Since the beginning of the extensive conflict in Ukraine, a number of Russian military personnel have been targeted within Moscow.
This latest event echoes other high-profile incidents, for instance:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was killed in a car bomb attack in Moscow earlier this year.
- General Igor Kirillov perished in late 2024 when a device concealed on a scooter was detonated remotely.
While a Ukrainian source previously attributed Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such assertions are never officially confirmed as a matter of standard practice.
Hostilities has increasingly seen clandestine operations reaching into the heart of the Russian capital.
The examination into General Sarvarov's death is still active.
