A bomb exploded in the lobby of a luxury apartment block in Moscow, killing at least one person and injuring four others in an attack targeting pro-Russian paramilitary leader Armen Sarkisyan from eastern Ukraine. The blast was described as an assassination attempt and Sarkisyan was reported to be in critical condition with part of his leg being amputated. The explosion was carefully planned and ordered, with investigators working to identify those responsible. Video showed significant damage to the lobby of the building, with reports stating that Sarkisyan had been seriously wounded. Ukraine’s SBU security service had previously described Sarkisyan as a “crime boss” in the Donetsk region, where he was accused of aiding illegal armed groups. In December, Ukraine claimed responsibility for the killing of Russian General Igor Kirillov in a bomb blast in Moscow, but there was no immediate comment from Ukraine regarding the recent blast. The incident highlighted tensions between Russia and Ukraine, with Moscow’s involvement in eastern Ukraine being a point of contention. The investigation into the bombing was ongoing as authorities worked to determine the motive and those responsible for the attack.
