Moscow police vehicle targeted in blast near major railway station, 1 officer killed
Editor's note: This is a developing story.
An explosion at Moscow's Savyolovsky railway station square killed one traffic police officer and wounded two others late on Feb. 23, according to Russia’s Interior Ministry and Investigative Committee.
Savyolovsky is one of the city's 10 major railway terminals and serves as a primary hub for suburban routes to the north of the capital.
Preliminary reports indicate that an unidentified man threw an "unknown explosive device" at a parked police vehicle around midnight local time before filming the incident and fleeing the scene.
Investigators and CCTV footage later confirmed the attacker died at the scene near the station.
The Kyiv Independent can't immediately verify the claims.
The incident in the Russian capital occurred on the same day that law enforcement facilities across Ukraine were targeted in a series of blasts.
