A Russian general wanted by Ukraine for using chemical weapons was killed by a remotely detonated bomb in Moscow on Tuesday, according to Russian authorities. Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, who oversaw Russia’s nuclear, biological, and chemical protection forces, was killed by an explosive device planted in an electric scooter outside an apartment building southeast of the Kremlin.
The blast also claimed the life of Kirillov’s assistant. A criminal investigation into the incident is currently underway, with forensic experts and operational services working at the scene to determine the circumstances of the crime.
