A senior Russian general has been killed after a home-made explosive device ripped through a parked car in the town of Balashikha, east of Moscow, according to the Investigative Committee, which probes major crimes in the country.
Russia’s Investigative Committee (SK) – the main federal investigating authority in the country – confirmed Gen Yaroslav Moskalik died when a Volkswagen Golf car exploded after an improvised explosive device stuffed with pellets went off.
Local media reported the car was parked next to the general’s house in the eastern suburb of Balashikha and exploded as he walked past it.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has blamed Ukraine for the attack, saying Kyiv “continues its involvement in terrorist activities inside our country”. Ukraine has not commented.

Moskalik represented Russia’s General Staff in talks with Ukraine in Paris in 2015, which resulted in the Minsk agreements set up to end the war between Ukraine and Russian-backed separatist forces that started in 2014.
According to the Kremlin website, he joined the Russian contingent led by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Kremlin aide and former Russian ambassador to the US, Yuri Ushakov, for those ceasefire talks.
