According to a statement from Russia's investigative committee, a tragic event has taken place in Moscow. It has been reported that Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, a senior general in the Russian armed forces responsible for leading the nuclear protection forces, has been killed in an explosion. The incident occurred outside an apartment building located about seven kilometres southeast of the Kremlin.
General Kirillov was the chief of Russia's Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Troops, commonly known as RKhBZ. These special forces are trained to operate under extreme circumstances, such as in the presence of radioactive, chemical, or biological contamination. It is with heavy hearts that we also share the news that General Kirillov's assistant was also killed in the explosion.
Photographs circulating on Russian Telegram channels depict a grim scene - a shattered entrance to the building, debris scattered everywhere, and two lifeless bodies lying on the blood-stained snow. According to sources, the explosion was caused by a bomb that had been concealed inside an electric scooter. This tragic event has been reported by Reuters, in collaboration with CNN. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones of those affected. We will continue to provide updates on this developing story.
