A senior Russian general was killed in a car blast in southern Moscow on Monday, investigators said in a statement.
Russia's Investigative Committee, which examines major crimes, said it had opened a probe into the "murder" of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov, head of the training department within the General Staff.
The possibility that the attack was "linked" to "Ukrainian special forces" was among the lines of inquiry, it said.
