    MOSCOW, Dec ​22 (Reuters) - A Russian general was killed by a car bomb ⁠in southern Moscow on Monday, Russian investigators said, adding that they ‍suspected Ukrainian special services could have ​been behind the attack. 

    The bomb exploded under the Kia Sorento driven by ​Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov, head of the Russian General Staff's army operational training directorate, as he left a parking space ‌at 06:55 Moscow time (0355 GMT).

    Russia's State ‌Investigative Committee said that Sarvarov died as ​a result of his injuries. 

    The investigators published a video showing ‌the wrecked car, with blood visible ⁠on the driver's seat.

    The committee ‌said that one ​of the versions being investigated is that the bomb was planted ⁠by Ukrainian special ⁠services. There was no immediate comment ​from Ukraine.
