Since the start of the extensive conflict in Ukraine, a series of Russian military officials have been subjected to assaults within Moscow.
This new event comes after other serious incidents, for instance:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was died in a automobile blast in Moscow earlier this year.
- General Igor Kirillov died in late 2024 when a bomb hidden on a scooter was detonated remotely.
While a Ukrainian source earlier attributed Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such assertions are not formally acknowledged as a matter of official stance.

The probe into General Sarvarov's death continues to be underway.
