A senior Russian general was killed in a bomb blast in a residential neighborhood in Moscow, Russian media reported early Tuesday.
According to our sources, Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov was killed by an explosive device that appears to have been hidden in a parked scooter and set off by remote control.
ABC News reported that the explosion also killed an aide accompanying him.
Kirillov was the head of Russia’s radiation, chemical and biological protection troops, TASS noted.
On Monday, the Security Service of Ukraine charged Kirillov in absentia with war crimes for alleged orders approving chemical weapon use against Ukrainian troops.

The SBU said on Telegram that “Kirillov is responsible for the mass use of banned chemical weapons” on the Ukrainian front lines.
“By order of Kirillov, more than 4,800 cases of the enemy’s use of chemical munitions have been recorded since the beginning of the full-scale war,” the SBU said.
Among the delivery methods, the SBU said, were grenades equipped with toxic substances like CS and CN irritants.
