MOSCOW (AP) — An unidentified assailant detonated an explosive
device next to a patrol vehicle in Moscow early Tuesday, killing
himself and a police officer, and leaving two other officers
injured, officials said.
The attack happened minutes after midnight near the Savyolovsky
Train Station in the Russian capital's downtown, according to
Moscow's branch of the Interior Ministry.
It said the assailant approached a traffic police vehicle and
detonated an explosive device, killing an officer on the spot
and injuring two others, who were hospitalized.
Russia's Investigative Committee said it has launched a probe
into the attack. It didn't name the assailant or give any
information about his possible motives or any further details.
The attack came on the day marking the fourth anniversary of
Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision to send troops into
Ukraine.
