MOSCOW: Two police officers were injured in an “incident” in Moscow near where a senior Russian general was killed this week, authorities said on Wednesday, with local media reporting that an explosion occurred.
Russia’s Investigative Committee, which probes major crimes, said it was “establishing the circumstances of an incident in southern Moscow that injured two traffic police officers.”
The statement on Telegram added that investigators were inspecting the scene and carrying out forensic analysis including “medical and explosive examinations.”
The area was cordoned off and had a large police presence, according to images broadcast on Russian television, which quoted witnesses describing an explosion that occurred at around 1:30 am (2230 GMT Tuesday).
The incident took place near where Lt. Gen. Fanil Sarvarov was killed on Monday by an explosive device that had been placed under his parked car.
Sarvarov had been the head of the Russian General Staff’s training department.
Since Moscow sent troops into Ukraine in February 2022, Kyiv has been blamed for several attacks targeting Russian military officials and pro-Kremlin figures both in Russia and in occupied parts of Ukraine.
Kyiv has claimed responsibility for some of the attacks but has not commented on Monday’s incident.

North Korea’s Kim Jong Un signals continued missile development in next 5 years
- Kim said “the country’s missile and shell production sector is of paramount importance in bolstering war deterrent,” according to KCNA
SEOUL: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signaled the country will continue to develop missiles in the next five years, as he visited major munitions enterprises in the last quarter of 2025, state media KCNA said on Friday.
Kim said “the country’s missile and shell production sector is of paramount importance in bolstering war deterrent,” according to KCNA.
Kim ratified draft documents for the modernization of major munitions enterprises to be submitted to a key party congress expected to be held in early 2026, KCNA said, which will set a development plan for North Korea for the next five years.
The KCNA report follows Thursday’s reveal of Kim overseeing the construction of an 8,700-ton nuclear-powered submarine with his daughter, a potential heir, and the test-firing of long-range surface-to-air missiles.
