At least one person has been killed and four others wounded in a bomb blast in the lobby of a luxury apartment building in Moscow.<\/p>\n

The explosion happened as a man with bodyguards entered the Scarlet Sails complex in the capital, Russian<\/strong><\/a> media said.<\/p>\n

Footage released by Russia’s main investigative agency showed shattered glass doors and debris scattered around the building’s lobby.<\/p>\n

The attack targeted a pro-Russian paramilitary leader from eastern Ukraine<\/strong><\/a>, Russian state news agency TASS reported.<\/p>\n

It called the blast an “assassination attempt” and identified the suspected target as Armen Sarkisyan, who Ukraine has accused of aiding Russia’s war in the eastern Ukrainian region of Donetsk.<\/p>\n

Mr Sarkisyan was in a critical condition and part of his leg was being amputated, according to RIA, another state news agency.<\/p>\n

Russian authorities said a criminal case had been launched into the explosion.<\/p>\n

“The assassination attempt on Sarkisyan was carefully planned and was ordered. Investigators are currently identifying those who ordered the crime,” a police official said, according to TASS.<\/p>\n

‘Crime boss’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ukraine’s SBU intelligence service previously described Mr Sarkisyan as a “crime boss” in the Donetsk region, which Russia has largely controlled since 2014. It also said he was officially suspected of participating in and aiding “illegal armed groups”.<\/p>\n

The SBU said Mr Sarkisyan had formed a pro-Russian military formation made up of local convict fighters and organised purchases of supplies for frontline units.<\/p>\n

In December, Ukraine claimed a bomb blast outside a Moscow apartment building that killed the Russian General Igor Kirillov<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
