“A Russian general was killed Monday after a bomb exploded under his car in Moscow, officials said. Russian investigators said they were looking into whether Lt. Gen. Fanil Sarvarov was assassinated by Ukrainian intelligence services. NBC News has asked the Ukrainian government for a response. Sarvarov, 56, was head of the operational training directorate of Russia’s armed forces general staff. … If confirmed, it would not be the first time Ukraine has carried out the assassination of a top general deep inside Russia. In April, it claimed responsibility for killing Lt. Gen. Yaroslav Moskalik in a car bomb near the Russian capital. And in December 2024, it said it was behind the death of Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, the head of Russia’s chemical, radiological and biological weapons unit.” (12/22/25)
