The Ukrainian security service has assassinated a senior Russian military general and his aide in Moscow, a Ukrainian source informed the news.
According to Russia’s Investigative Committee (SK), Lt Gen. Igor Kirillov, the director of the Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Defense Forces (NBC), was outside a residential block early on Tuesday when a weapon concealed in a scooter was remotely detonated.
Kirillov, according to a source in Ukraine’s SBU security service, was “a legitimate target” and had committed war crimes.
Kirillov, 54, was prosecuted by the SBU in absentia on Monday after he was accused of being “responsible for the mass use of banned chemical weapons” over Telegram.
