U.S. media: A senior Russian officer was killed in a car explosion on June 9 in Balashikha, located east of Moscow, with Ukrainian officials and Russian media both confirming the incident.
Russian investigative authorities have launched an investigation into the explosion, stating it occurred near a residential building, with the driver killed on the spot.
The incident appears to be the latest targeted assassination carried out by Ukrainian forces inside Russia against a "high-profile opponent," coming at a time when Kyiv has successfully thwarted Moscow's summer offensive and expanded the conflict into Russian territory through long-range strikes targeting Moscow and oil facilities nationwide.
