Two Moscow Police officers died this Wednesday when They were going to arrest a suspect, who activated an explosive device and also died in the incident. If confirmed, it would be the second terrorist attack perpetrated in the Russian capital in the last three days after the deadly attack against the chief of operations of Vladimir Putin’s Army General Staff.
“Two traffic police saw a suspicious person next to a police car. When they approached to arrest him, an explosive device was activated. As a result of the injuries received, the two agents, as well as the person who was next to them, died,” the Russian Instruction Committee (CIR) reported on Telegram.
According to local authorities, the incident took place in the early hours of Wednesday in the same southern Moscow neighborhood where the military high command was attacked. The main investigation department of the CIR initiated criminal cases for attack against law enforcement officers and illegal trafficking of explosives.
At this time, investigators and criminalists are reviewing the scene, including genetic, forensic and explosives reports, in order to establish the mechanism of action of the bomb.
“The president of the CIR commissioned the criminalists of the central department to join the investigations to identify as soon as possible the people linked to this crime, as well as all the circumstances,” indicated the agency, which hinted at a kamikaze attack.
According to the Telegram channel 112, the dead police officers were two lieutenants, 24 and 25 years old of age who had worked in the security agencies for just over two years.
Last Monday, the chief of operations of the Russian Army General Staff, Fanil Sarvárovdied in a car bomb attack in the same area of southern Moscow. The CIR preliminarily attributed the attack to Ukrainian intelligence.
