General Kirillov, the head of Russia's radiation, chemical and biological defense forces, was killed outside the apartment building where he lived. He died along with his assistant when an explosive device attached to an electric scooter detonated.

Russian intelligence knows who ordered the assassination of Russian General Igor Kirillov, the Kremlin said yesterday, as quoted by Reuters. Ukraine is using the methods of terrorists, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
