This new event follows other serious incidents, for instance:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was lost his life in a automobile blast in Moscow earlier this year.
- General Igor Kirillov perished in late 2024 when a bomb placed on a scooter was triggered from afar.
While a informant earlier connected Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such allegations are never publicly admitted as a matter of policy.
The war has been marked by shadowy operations reaching into the center of the Russian capital.
The investigation into General Sarvarov's death continues to be ongoing.
