A Russian general, Lt. Gen. Fanil Sarvarov, was killed in a car bombing in Moscow on Monday, marking the third death of a senior Russian military leader in a similar attack this year. Sarvarov, head of the Operational Training Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces' General Staff, died from his injuries. Russian investigators suspect Ukrainian intelligence orchestrated the bombing, though Ukraine has not claimed responsibility. Previously, Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov and Lt. Gen. Yaroslav Moskalik were also killed in car bombings in Moscow earlier this year, with Ukraine claiming responsibility for Kirillov's death. The bombing occurred amidst ongoing peace talks between Ukraine, Russia, and the U.S., even as Russia continues military operations in Ukraine.
