Explosion Rocks Moscow Luxury Block, Claims Life of Prominent Director
Moscow was shaken on Monday as a bomb tore through part of a luxury residential block along the shores of the Moscow River, just 12 kilometers from the Kremlin. The explosion, which occurred in the early hours, claimed the life of a prominent director and left three others wounded, according to Russian media reports.The target of the attack was identified as a “Paraistic director of the eastern director of the East,” whose identity remains under examination. The bomb detonated in the ground floor of the building, known as the “Scarlet Salils,” a high-end residential complex frequented by Moscow’s elite.
Russian authorities have described the attack as meticulously planned.”Creakisyan Murder was carefully designed and carefully ordered,” stated TASS, Russia’s state news agency, which cited sources within the security services. Investigators are now working to identify those behind the attack, with criminal scrutiny underway for charges related to public endangerment and attempted murder.
The explosion caused important structural damage to the building, as captured in videos shared by Baza, a Telegram channel with ties to Russian security services. Emergency responders, including helicopters, were swiftly deployed to the scene, where a heavy police presence cordoned off the area.
This incident follows a similar attack in December, when a senior Russian general, Igor Kirillov, was killed in a bomb explosion outside his apartment building. Kirillov, who led the military’s nuclear and chemical weapons division, was a high-profile figure in Russia’s defense establishment.
The Ukrainian government has yet to comment on Monday’s attack, leaving questions about potential motives and perpetrators unanswered.
