Kirillov's assistant also died in the bombing, which was triggered remotely, according to Russian news reports
MOSCOW/FLORIDA: A senior Russian general was killed on Tuesday by a bomb hidden in a scooter outside his apartment building in Moscow, a day after Ukraine's security agency leveled criminal charges against him.
A Ukrainian official said the country's security service carried out the attack.
Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, the chief of the military's nuclear, biological and chemical protection forces, was killed as he left for his office.
Kirillov's assistant also died in the bombing, which was triggered remotely, according to Russian news reports. Images from the scene showed shattered windows and scorched and blackened brickwork.
Kirillov was under sanctions from several countries, including the UK and Canada, for his actions in Moscow's war in Ukraine.
On Monday, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) opened a criminal investigation against him, accusing him of directing the use of banned chemical weapons.
