Putin’s Top General Killed in Moscow Car Bombing After Son’s Licence Plate Slip
A senior Russian general died on June 9 when a car bomb destroyed his BMW X3 in Moscow’s Balashikha suburb. Investigators say the general’s son, a military cadet, accidentally revealed his location by posting the vehicle’s licence plate on social media. Armed suspects then used the plate number to track and target the car. The blast, estimated at up to 500g of TNT, engulfed the vehicle and damaged nearby cars. Authorities defused a second bomb and have launched a full assassination probe. This attack follows a similar killing of another top Kremlin war chief last year and raises fresh concerns over security around Putin’s inner circle.
