The FSB secret service said they had apprehended "Ukrainian special services agent Ignat Kuzi" who had "planted explosives in a Volkswagen Golf" to kill Gen Yaroslav Moskalik.

Gen Moskalik had been the deputy head of the main operational directorate of the military's General Staff. He died after walking past the car parked outside his house in the suburb of Balashikha.

The FSB said Kuzin had rigged the car with a homemade explosive device and the bomb had then been set off remotely from Ukraine.
