Moscow Suicide Bomber Kills Police Officer Near Rail Hub in Rare Attack on Russian Capital

A suicide bomber detonated an explosive device next to a police patrol vehicle near a major Moscow rail hub early Tuesday, killing himself and a traffic police officer and injuring two other officers. Russian officials confirmed the blast was a deliberate attack — a rare act of violence in the Russian capital that comes on the fourth anniversary of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Authorities have not publicly linked the attack to the war, but the timing is striking.
