WIRE — Since the start of the full-scale invasion, senior Russian generals have not only died at the front but have also become targets of attacks in the rear. At least three generals have died in bombings in Moscow and the Moscow region; another was shot but survived. The most recent apparent target was Alexander Chayko, who was appointed head of Russia's Aerospace Forces in May 2026. Telegram channels have identified him as the target of an explosion that occurred on August 1 at the Balzi Rossi restaurant in Moscow. Almost no official statements followed from the authorities, aside from a comment from Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin, who called the explosion a terrorist attack. Here is everything known about the attempts on Russian generals in the rear.
