US EditionTwo Police Officers Killed in Moscow Explosion, Russian Investigators Say
- On December 24, 2025, Russia's Investigative Committee said two traffic police officers and one person standing nearby were killed in an overnight explosion on Yeletskaya Street, southern Moscow, as officers approached a "suspicious individual."
- Close to where Sarvarov died, the latest blast occurred near Yeletskaya Street, and investigators say similar attacks have targeted senior officers in the past year.
- Investigators said they are carrying out medical and explosive tests at the scene, with CCTV footage being reviewed and witnesses questioned after an explosion at around 1:30 am, officials said.
- The blast has heightened security concerns in Moscow, prompting a large police presence with roads cordoned off as emergency services and security forces rushed to the scene.
- Amid a wider pattern of attacks since 2022, several reports said the alleged assailant may have been among the victims, and Kyiv had not commented on Monday's killing while Euronews and other outlets could not verify claims.
