Russian general accused of Kyiv children's hospital bombing killed near Engels airbase

A Russian general, Nikolai Varpahovici, accused of ordering the bombing of the Ohmatdyt children's hospital in Kyiv, was shot dead outside his home in Probuzhdenie, near the Engels airbase. Telegram channels linked to Russian security forces reported the killing, but official confirmation is pending. The assassination of a senior officer implicated in a war crime suggests internal fractures or targeted Ukrainian operations, potentially escalating conflict dynamics.
