There's been another killing by explosive device in the heart of Moscow - this time coming on thefourth anniversary of the start of the Russia-Ukraine war.

The Russian Interior Ministry has confirmed that a culprit detonated powerful bomb beside a police patrol car in central Moscow early Tuesday, near a public transport hub, whichkilled one officer and wounded two more.

Based on the details, the attack was clearly targeting the police officers, asthe attacker approached their car before quickly setting off the bomb.

The patrol car was badly damaged, with windows shattered, littering the scene with debris at Savyolovsky railway station square - which is one of the capital’s main railway hubs.

Subsequently, there was this bit of strange and contradictoryreporting:

The ministry initially said the perpetrator had fled. Minutes later, it said the man was found dead at the site after inspecting the scene and reviewing surveillance footage.

Authorities gave no immediate details about the explosive or the attacker’s motive.

This particular incident comes after astring of assassinations of high profile generals and Russian figures, but also mimics similar prior seemingly 'random' attack on Moscow police.

For example in December 2025 two police officers were killed in an explosion in southern Moscow while attempting to detain a suspicious individual near their vehicle, which occurred just days after a Russian general was assassinated in the same area.

The blast underscored a troubling reality for the Kremlin - that the war's shadow has been creeping deeper into the capital through an apparentlyintelligence-orchestrated dirty war.
