Russian Lt-Gen Igor Yerusalimov, 53, is reported to have died in a blast in Moscow on Saturday, with some reporting describing it as an assassination plot. The incident is said to have occurred at the Balzi Rossi Italian restaurant on Kudrinskaya Square, located just over a mile from the Kremlin. Yerusalimov’s death is presented in the reporting as connected to suspicions that the attack was carried out by Ukrainian forces, though the accounts provided do not include additional confirmation from authorities beyond the characterization as suspected. Following his death, a “secret” funeral ceremony is reported to have taken place for Yerusalimov. The available information does not detail the circumstances of the blast beyond the location and timing, nor does it provide independent evidence regarding responsibility. The reporting focuses on the seniority of the officer, the Moscow location near the Kremlin, and the subsequent burial arrangements.
