So, straight to #Moscow.
This is the moment Lieutenant-General Igor Kirillov was blown up at the entrance to a swanky apartment block.
He is only #Russia's second Lt-Gen to be killed in the full-scale invasion.
#Ukraine's Intel claims responsibility for the assassination of Lt-Gen Igor Kirillov
He was head of #Russia 's nuclear forces. But more importantly right now, Kirillov also controlled chemical + biological warfare
Explosives in a scooter detonated when he entered this house.

An attack on a top figure in central #Moscow is a huge embarrassment for #Putin and shows #Russia is, and will remain, vulnerable.
