The event took place on Monday morning when an explosive device concealed beneath a vehicle was set off, resulting in the death of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov. Sarvarov was the head of the armed forces' department for training operations. Investigators mentioned that one line of inquiry points to the possible involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services.

Media coverage indicate the blast occurred in a parking area close to a residential building. Series of Incidents Since the onset of the large-scale conflict in Ukraine, a number of Russian military personnel have been subjected to assaults within Moscow. This new event follows other notable incidents, such as: General Yaroslav Moskalik was lost his life in a car bomb attack in Moscow earlier this year. General Igor Kirillov died in late 2024 when a bomb concealed on a scooter was detonated remotely. While a informant earlier connected Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such assertions are rarely formally acknowledged as a matter of policy. The conflict has been marked by clandestine operations moving into the center of the Russian capital. The probe into General Sarvarov's death continues to be active.
