Two Russian Generals Die Suddenly, Secret Funerals Held in Moscow Amid Explosion Rumors

Independent reports say the burial was held in secrecy, with security forces guarding the cemetery and no public explanation for the general’s death.

  • Authorities held a secret, heavily guarded funeral at Moscow's Troekurovskoye Cemetery for an unnamed major general who previously commanded Russian troop advances into the Kyiv region in 2022.
  • The burial follows the August 1 bombing at the Balzi Rossi restaurant in Moscow, which killed five people and injured 19 others.
  • Federal Protective Service and Russian National Guard officers secured the cemetery, while a Russian Ground Forces flag stood by the grave; eyewitnesses described the deceased as "fairly young."
  • Reports indicate Aerospace Forces Commander-in-Chief Alexander Chayko's son-in-law, Daniil Peredriy, died in the blast, while his daughter, Maria, sustained injuries during the attack.
  • Russia's Foreign Ministry blamed Ukraine for the attack, though no group has claimed responsibility for the explosive device delivered by a courier.
