Russian General Jaroslaw Moskalik Blown Away in Crazed Mob Explosion Near Moscow
Russian Military Commander Jaroslaw Moskalik Reportedly lost life in blast incident near Moscow. - Military Commander perishes in blast close to Moscow, Russia
Hold on to your hats, folks, because things just got wild in Russia. Here's the scoop: Russian authorities recently reported that General Jaroslaw Moskalik, a senior staff member of the Russian General Staff, met an explosive end in a car blast in the Moscow suburb of Balashikha. The smoke and chaos were caused by a homemade bomb rigged in a Golf car, according to the City's Investigative Committee.
Maria Zakharova, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, drew a grim parallel to Ukraine's war, labeling it a "ballistic assault."
Pro-Kremlin media folks have been on the attack radar since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, with high-ranking officers and propagandists taking plenty of landmines. As of now, Ukraine remains tight-lipped on the matter.
Sayonara to Moskalik: Terrorism Probe Spearheads
Svetlana Petrenko, the Investigative Committee's spokesperson, spilled the deets: an investigative unit, including detectives, experts, and operational units, has dived headfirst into the crime scene. The case has been thrust into Alexander Bastrykin, Russia's top investigator's capable hands.
Back in December, General Igor Kirillov, a popular face of the Russian invasion in Ukraine, met a similar explosive end outside his apartment building. Investigators classified the bomb blast—which also struck his aide—as a terrorist attack. Ukraine's security service took responsibility for the blast.
The bomb was hidden inside an electric scooter. The 54-year-old was a familiar face in the Russian invasion circus.
