In a significant security breach within Moscow, Armen Sarkisyan, the founder of the pro-Russian Arbat battalion, was killed in a bombing at the upscale Scarlet Sails residential complex. The explosion, which occurred in the building's lobby, also resulted in the death of one of Sarkisyan's bodyguards and left several others injured.
Russian authorities have labeled the incident as a meticulously planned assassination. Preliminary investigations suggest that the explosive device was concealed within the lobby area and detonated remotely upon Sarkisyan's entry. The blast caused significant structural damage, shattering windows and necessitating the evacuation of residents.
