Russia probes two car bombs in Moscow

Ukraine has not issued a comment on his death so far, though Kyiv has claimed responsibility for several attacks on Russian generals since the start of Vladimir Putin’s war.

Law enforcement authorities in Moscow on Tuesday announced the arrests of two teenagers on suspicion of planning a car bomb attack in the Russian capital on the same day that a man was killed when his car exploded in a nearby suburb.

He was named in reports as Damir Davydov, head of the Russian defence ministry’s missile and artillery wing.

The explosion occurred early Tuesday in the city of Balashikha when an explosive device allegedly attached to a BMW detonated as the vehicle was being driven near the officer's residence.
