Footage shows moments before Russian general killed in Moscow scooter blast

Igor Kirillov, the head of the military’s chemical, biological and radiological weapons unit, was killed along with his deputy when the blast went off as the two men left a building in a residential area in south-east Moscow early on Tuesday. Kirillov, who was placed under sanctions by Britain in October over the alleged use of chemical weapons in Ukraine, is the most senior Russian military official to be killed in a targeted assassination away from the frontlines since the start of Kremlin’s offensive in Ukraine nearly three years ago. Moscow has not yet identified who was responsible for the attack, but the blame is likely to be directed at Ukraine’s leadership. Reuters and Agence France-Presse, citing a Ukrainian security source, reported that Kyiv was behind the attack
