A bomb blast in Moscow on Tuesday killed a senior general in charge of Russia's nuclear protection forces, Russia's investigative committee said.

"Igor Kirillov, the head of the radiation, chemical and biological protection forces of the armed forces of the Russian Federation, and his assistant were killed," the investigative committee statement said.

Kirillov, a lieutenant general, was the head of Russia's Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Protection Troops.

Homemade device caused explosion
The explosion occurred outside a residential building on Ryazansky Prospekt, about 7 km (4 miles) southeast of the Kremlin.

According to police sources, a homemade device was used to cause the blast. The bomb was reportedly concealed in an electric scooter.

Photographs on the messaging app Telegram showed a destroyed building entrance, rubble, and blood-stained snow.

Coward got assasinated. No one cares! 😂

Russia's a bloody joke! Can't even protect their precious generals. What a bunch of incompetent lads! Invading a country that never attacked them, and now they're paying the price.

More of their pathetic leaders will fall, and we'll be laughing all the way. To Putin's soldiers and fanboys, you're nothing but disposable cannon fodder for his ego. Bloody cowards!
