Three killed in Moscow car explosion, say Russian authorities

Anonymous official from Ukraine’s GUR military intelligence says the agency carried out the attack

Two traffic police officers and a third person have been killed in a car explosion in Moscow, Russia’s investigative committee has said.

The committee, which investigates major crimes, said in a statement on Wednesday that an explosive device had been triggered when the officers approached a “suspicious person” near their police vehicle on Yeletskaya Street in the south of the capital.
