What’s known about the brazen bombing that killed a top Russian general in Moscow
The killing of a senior Russian general in a bombing outside his apartment building in Moscow was the boldest assassination yet of a top military officer and it again brought the war in Ukraine to the streets of the capital. Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov was killed Tuesday by a bomb hidden on an electric scooter outside his apartment building in southeastern Moscow. Also killed was his assistant, Ilya Polikarpov. A Ukrainian official said Ukraine’s security service carried out the attack. Russia’s FSB security service said it has detained a suspect, described as a citizen of Uzbekistan who was recruited by the Ukrainian intelligence services. The Tass and RIA-Novosti news agencies identified him as Akhmad Kurbanov.
