A senior Russian general has been killed in a car bomb attack in Moscow, officials have confirmed.
Russia's Investigative Committee (SK) - the main federal investigating authority in the country - confirmed Gen Yaroslav Yaroslavovich Moskalik died when a Volkswagen Golf car exploded after an improvised explosive device stuffed with pellets went off.
Local media reported that the car was parked next to the general's house in the eastern suburb of Balashikha and exploded as he walked past it.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has blamed Ukraine for the attack, saying Kyiv "continues its involvement in terrorist activities inside our country". Ukraine has not commented.
Moskalik represented Russia's General Staff in talks with Ukraine in Paris in 2015, which resulted in the Minsk agreements set up to end the war between Ukraine and Russian-backed separatist forces that started in 2014.
