“Two traffic police officers noticed a suspicious person near a police vehicle. When they approached to detain him, an explosive device was detonated. As a result of the injuries sustained, the two police officers, as well as the person who was with them, died,” Russia’s Investigative Committee said.

This was the second terrorist attack carried out in the Russian capital in the past three days. The Investigative Committee’s main investigations directorate opened criminal cases for an attack on a law enforcement officer and the illegal trafficking of explosives.

Investigators and forensic experts are currently examining the scene, including conducting genetic, forensic and explosives analyses, in order to determine the mechanism of action of the bomb.

“The Investigative Committee chairman instructed forensic experts from the central office to join the investigation in order to identify as soon as possible those linked to this crime, as well as all the circumstances,” authorities said, suggesting the attack may have been a suicide bombing.

According to Telegram channel 112, the two police officers killed were lieutenants ages 24 and 25, who had been serving in the security services for just over two years.

On Monday, the head of operations of the Russian army’s General Staff, Fanil Sarvarov, was killed in a car bomb attack in a neighborhood in southern Moscow. That terrorist act was reportedly carried out by Ukrainian intelligence agents.
