Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence, known as HUR, has claimed responsibility for a bombing in southern Moscow that killed two policemen on Wednesday morning.
The policemen were killed when approaching a suspect near their service vehicle at 1.30 am, local authorities reported. Their identities have not been revealed yet. Two more people have been hospitalized with serious injuries. A source within the HUR said the killed persons has been involved in Russia’s war of invasion in Ukraine.
“Two employees of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs were eliminated on Yeletska Street in Moscow, who participated in the war against Ukraine and, in particular, tortured Ukrainian prisoners of war,” the source told local media. The source said the assailant was a dissident who opposed Russia’s war of invasion in Ukraine and threw a package of explosive into the police car parked near the police station, causing the blast.
Russia’s Investigative Committee said the explosion occurred near the site where Russian general Fanil Sarvarov, head of the Operational Training Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces’ General Staff was killed earlier this week. Sarvarov was killed on Monday morning by the explosion of a bomb planted under his car. In an earlier statement, the Investigative Committee said its investigators were inspecting the scene of incident. Since Russia’s launch of full-fledged invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Ukraine’s intelligence forces have carried out several attacks on Russian military officials.
