- Incident follows nearby car bomb assassination of Lt Gen Fanil Sarvarov, part of series hitting Russian figures.

Moscow Bombing Details
A bombing struck Moscow’s Yeletskaya Street, killing three people, two of them traffic police officers. The explosion detonated at close range when officers approached a suspicious individual carrying an explosive device. This attack occurred just days after a car bomb nearby assassinated Lt Gen Fanil Sarvarov. Russian authorities responded by opening a criminal case classified as attempted murder of police officers. No public confirmation emerged on perpetrators or precise motives.
Ukrainian Claims and Broader Pattern
Ukrainian military intelligence informed Western media the blast formed part of an operation against Russian law enforcement tied to the Ukraine war. Sources alleged the targeted officers participated in hostilities and tortured prisoners of war. The incident fits a series of high-profile killings on Russian soil. Previous attacks included car bombs and café blasts that claimed lives of Darya Dugina, Generals Kirillov and Moskalik, Vladlen Tatarsky, and recently Sarvarov.
Russian Response and Western Speculation
Russian officials limited statements to the criminal investigation, avoiding direct attribution. Speculation persists around Western intelligence agencies such as CIA and MI6 aiding certain Ukrainian operations. Concrete evidence for such involvement stays unproven, highlighting tensions in proxy conflicts. President Trump’s administration, now prioritizing American interests, watches these escalations abroad with caution against entanglements that drained U.S. resources under prior policies.
These street-level attacks underscore risks to law enforcement in wartime shadows. Conservative voices stress protecting national security without endless foreign aid that fuels inflation and globalism. Trump’s return signals a shift toward peace through strength, rejecting Biden-era overspending on distant battlefields.
