Our team is verifying images and video circulated earlier today that purport to show the aftermath of a alleged vehicle-borne explosive explosion that authorities in Russia state killed a high-ranking soldier in Moscow. Officials in Russia stated that Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov was in the vehicle that detonated and that he later died of his injuries. An investigation is currently ongoing. Our starting point to check the site from which the pictures were from was based on social media reports saying the explosion happened on Yasenevaya Ulitsa in the southern part of the capital city of Russia. We used street-view imagery on digital map platforms and the local mapping service Yandex to match the unique yellow colour of a adjacent apartment building captured in the video. Identifying additional buildings, streetlights and the road configuration verified where the pictures were taken. Additionally, we verified that the video clips were recent and that the visuals had not undergone digital alteration.
