according to investigators.<\/p>\n<p>The two traffic police officers were killed early on Wednesday in an explosion that occurred when they attempted to arrest a suspicious individual, the Russian Investigative Committee said.<\/p>\n<section class=\"more-on\">\n<h2 class=\"more-on__heading\">Recommended Stories<!-- --> <\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">list of 3 items<\/span><span

according to the statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo police officers succumbed to their injuries,\u201d the statement said, adding that the person standing next to them also died in the explosion.\u00a0<strong>\u200b<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An investigation for \u201cattempted murder\u201d of law enforcement officers and \u201cexplosives trafficking\u201d has been opened, it added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThere was an explosion,\u201d Alexander, a resident \u200cwho lives nearby, told the Reuters new agency. \u201cIt was loud bang \u2013 like with the car a few days ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Another resident named Roza said she was woken up by the explosion in the early hours and \u200cthat the entire building appeared to shake.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"motive-unknown\">Motive unknown<\/h2>\n<p>Reporting from Moscow, Al Jazeera\u2019s Yulia Shapovalova said the blast occurred very early in the morning near a police station on Yeletskaya Street in southern Moscow, near the site where Russian General Fanil Sarvarov was killed earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese two young traffic police were just 24 and 25 years old,\u201d she said, adding that the older of the victims had a wife and child. \u201cIt truly is a tragedy for their families.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She said the motive for the attack was unknown, with Russian officials saying little at this stage.<\/p>\n<p>The area where the blast occurred was cordoned off by a large police presence, according to images broadcast by Russian television.<\/p>\n<p>The bombing happened near where Sarvarov, head of the operational training department within the Russian General Staff, was killed on Monday by an explosive device placed under a car.<\/p>\n<p>Shapalova said Sarvarov, a high-ranking general, had been involved in training personnel for the military operation in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Russia said it suspected Ukraine \u200cwas behind Sarvarov\u2019s killing, while there has been no official comment from Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Since the start of the Russian offensive against Ukraine in February 2022, several Russian generals, local officials, and public figures supporting the offensive have died in explosions in Russia or in the occupied part of Ukraine. Kyiv has sometimes claimed responsibility for these attacks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Investigators say the blast in Moscow occurred close to the site where a Russian general was killed on Monday.
