A Russian general, Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, was killed in a bomb blast in Moscow. Ukrainian sources allege the attack was carried out by their intelligence agency, the SBU, as retribution for war crimes.
Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, the head of Russia's radiation, chemical and biological protection troops, was killed in a bomb blast in a residential neighborhood in Moscow. Russian media reported early Tuesday that the explosion, which also killed an aide accompanying him, appears to have been caused by an explosive device hidden in a parked scooter and detonated remotely.
Ukrainian sources told ABC News that the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) was behind the killing, describing Kirillov as a war criminal who issued orders to use prohibited chemical weapons against Ukrainian troops. The SBU had charged Kirillov in absentia with war crimes on Monday for alleged orders approving chemical weapon use against Ukrainian troops. The SBU said Kirillov is responsible for the mass use of banned chemical weapons on the Ukrainian front lines, and that more than 4,800 cases of the enemy's use of chemical munitions have been recorded since the beginning of the full-scale war.
