Putin provoked again: 2 police officers, 1 civilian killed in deadly blast near recent car bomb site

Moscow was rocked by another deadly explosion as two police officers and a civilian were killed while officers approached a suspicious individual near the site of a recent car bombing that claimed the life of a senior Russian general. The blast has heightened fears of an escalating campaign of targeted attacks linked to the ongoing Ukraine war. Russian investigators have opened murder and terrorism-related cases, while unofficial reports suggest the suspect detonated the device during the encounter. With tensions rising and a string of high-profile assassinations already shaking Russia’s security establishment, questions are mounting over who is behind the attack and what comes next.
