Mystery Car Bombing Near Moscow May Have Taken Out A Top General<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

In what appears the latest targeted killing in a string of high profile assassinations of top Russian military brass since the Ukraine war began, an unidentified man – possibly a high-ranking military officer<\/strong>, was reportedly blown up<\/strong> Tuesday morning after a bomb detonated in his car.<\/p>\n

The incident happened very early in the morning Tuesday\u00a0in a suburb called Balashikha, just outside the Russian capital. While Russian authorities have yet to release the identity of the deceased man, it happened very near an area known to host residences of military and government officials<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“The location of Tuesday\u2019s\u00a0explosion is not far from where\u00a0Lieutenant General Yaroslav Moskalik \u2014 the deputy head of the General Staff\u2019s main operational directorate \u2014\u00a0was killed<\/a>\u00a0in a car bombing last year,” the Amsterdam-based Moscow Times writes.<\/p>\n

Investigators said an “explosive device was detonated while a BMW X3 car was driving near a residential apartment building.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

In this newest case, the speculation on Telegram is that\u00a0the fatality was a 62-year-old lieutenant general<\/strong>. A formal investigation is underway<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Security camera footage circulated by pro-Kremlin media\u00a0showed<\/a>\u00a0the vehicle bursting into flames from the trunk and back seats before rolling into a parked vehicle<\/strong>. According to the Telegram channel Mash, bystanders\u00a0rushed<\/a>\u00a0to pull the driver out of the burning wreckage, but he died shortly after.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Russia’s internal security service, the FSB, previously said it is making great efforts to tighten around high-ranking military officers of late.<\/p>\n

This possibly adds, pending the details, to a growing list of high profile assassinations related to the Ukraine war. To review:<\/p>\n

\n

\u2014Darya Dugina was killed in a car bombing in 2022 which was likely meant for her father, prominent political thinker and often dubbed “Putin ally”\u00a0Aleksandr Dugin.<\/p>\n

\u2014Gen Igor Kirillov died in December 2024 outside of his residence when a bomb planted in a nearby scooter detonated.<\/p>\n

\u2014Gen Yaroslav Moskalik, who served as\u00a0<\/strong>deputy head of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, was killed in a car bomb attack last April.\u00a0A “homemade” explosive device detonated\u00a0under his Volkswagen Golf in a residential neighborhood.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Throughout the course of the war there’s been a\u00a0string of these high profile assassinations on Russian soil involving car and even cafe bombs.<\/p>\n

Two vehicles have been blown up in the Russian capital today. In one of the explosions, a 62-year-old lieutenant general was killed.<\/p>\n

The blasts occurred in residential districts where Russian military personnel and their families live. The\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/999GJ2Brxm<\/a><\/p>\n

The cafe bombing had happened in April 2023, and killed prominent pro-Kremlin blogger and war correspondent Vladlen Tatarsky.<\/b>\u00a0The\u00a0blast at a St. Petersburg cafe during a close-quarters speaking event wounded some two dozen bystanders,\u00a0six of them critically.<\/p>\n

America’s CIA or Britain’s MI6 has long been suspected of being involved in these targeted killings<\/strong>, or at least assisting in such brazen Ukrainian-linked operations, but ultimately little has been uncovered or proven in terms of a potential Western hidden hand in this ongoing ‘dirty war’.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
