MOSCOW – A suicide bombing targeting law enforcement officers in Russia’s capital left one police officer dead and two others wounded in the early morning hours Tuesday, according to Russian authorities.
The incident unfolded shortly after midnight in downtown Moscow, near the Savyolovsky Train Station, as reported by the Interior Ministry’s Moscow division.
Officials say an unknown individual walked up to a traffic enforcement patrol car and set off an explosive, instantly killing one officer while sending two colleagues to the hospital with injuries.
Russia’s Investigative Committee has opened an investigation into the bombing but has not released the identity of the perpetrator or provided any details about what may have motivated the attack.
The timing of the assault coincides with the four-year mark since Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered military forces into Ukraine.
