Russia's Lt Gen Igor Kirillov was outside a residential block early Tuesday when a device hidden in a scooter was detonated remotely.
A Ukrainian source told a US media house that a high-ranking general in the Russian armed forces and his assistant have been killed in Moscow by Ukraine's security service.
Russia's Investigative Committee said Lt Gen Igor Kirillov, head of the Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Defence Forces, was outside a residential block early Tuesday when a device hidden in a scooter was detonated remotely.
A source in Ukraine's SBU security service claimed Kirillov was a legitimate target and alleged he had carried out war crimes.
On Monday, the SBU charged Kirillov, in absentia, saying on Telegram that he was responsible for the mass use of banned chemical weapons.
