Moscow: Ukraine has claimed responsibility for a bomb blast that killed the Russian nuclear chief and his aide. Let us tell you that Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, head of the Russian Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Scientific Defense Forces, was killed in a bomb explosion near a residential building here on Tuesday morning. During this period, his assistant was also killed. It is understood that the explosives were hidden in a motorcycle. Russia’s nuclear chief dies after being hit. The Russian Investigative Committee provided this information.
President Vladimir Putin’s Kremlin office has been rocked by the assassination of Russia’s nuclear chief. Meanwhile, Ukraine admitted responsibility for the murder of Russia’s nuclear chief. A Ukrainian military official said the attack was carried out by the Ukrainian military. Igor Kirillov was killed by an explosive device as he left his office. Kirillov, 54, has been sanctioned by several countries, including Britain and Canada, for his role in Moscow’s war in Ukraine. On Monday, Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) launched a criminal investigation into him, accusing him of directing the use of banned chemical weapons.
Ukraine calls him nuclear ringleader, rightly targeted
An SBU official said the agency was behind the attack. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Kirillov was a war criminal and the attack against him was completely legal. The SBU said that as of February 2022, it had used chemical weapons on the battlefield more than 4,800 times. In May, the U.S. State Department said in a statement that it used “chloropicrin”, a poison gas first used in World War I, against Ukrainian troops. Russia denies using any chemical weapons in Ukraine and accuses Kiev of using toxic substances in the war. (Associated Press)
