Two police officers were tragically killed in a bombing incident in Moscow, identified by local media as Ilya Klimanov, 24, and Maxim Gorbunov, 25. The explosion occurred as they approached a 'suspicious individual' near a police vehicle on Yeletskaya Street.
The Investigative Committee of Russia stated that a criminal investigation was initiated regarding an attack on the officers. Reports indicate that the third person killed was the suspect, although this has not been officially confirmed.
This shocking event follows shortly after the assassination of Lt Gen Fanil Sarvarov, a senior military official, in a separate car bombing incident just days earlier.
Witnesses described hearing a loud explosion, comparable to recent attacks, contributing to the increasing fear within the city regarding security.
Ukraine's military intelligence suggested that the recent surge in violence could be attributed to local residents opposing the Kremlin's policies, with claims of involvement in attacks against law enforcement officials.
As tensions escalate, it remains unclear if these recent incidents are linked, raising concerns over public safety and the ongoing conflict's ramifications inside Russia.
