俄军防化部队司令 Igor Kirillov 遭滑板车炸弹袭击身亡
2024年12月17日清晨，俄罗斯首都莫斯科东南部的 Ryazansky Prospekt 一栋住宅楼门口发生爆炸，俄罗斯武装力量辐射、化学与生物防护部队司令 Igor Kirillov 中将与他的助理当场身亡。俄罗斯联邦侦查委员会当日证实了两人的死讯，并宣布已就此事立案侦查。
据俄罗斯联邦侦查委员会的声明，当日清晨，一枚预先安放在一辆停在住宅楼入口旁的电动滑板车内的爆炸装置被引爆，Kirillov 与其助理在爆炸中身亡。委员会表示，其莫斯科市调查总局已就两名军人遇害一事立案，调查人员与法医专家正在现场开展工作，以查明事件的全部经过。
乌克兰国家安全局（SBU）的一名消息人士当日向路透社与法新社表示，这次行动是该局实施的一次「特别行动」，并称 Kirillov 是「战犯」、是「绝对合法的目标」。这一说法出自乌方消息人士，截至当日未经独立证实，乌克兰方面也未以正式声明的形式公开认领这次行动。
就在爆炸前一日，即12月16日，乌克兰国家安全局宣布，已在乌克兰总检察长办公室的程序监督下，缺席通知 Kirillov 涉嫌战争罪。乌方指称，自全面战争爆发以来，俄军按 Kirillov 的命令在乌克兰东部与南部前线使用被禁化学弹药逾4,800次，其中包括装有刺激性化学剂 CS 与 CN 的 K-1 战斗手榴弹，并称有2,000多名乌克兰军人因不同程度的化学中毒被送医。乌方称，相关弹药与土壤样本已按保管链程序移交禁止化学武器组织核验。俄方此前称这类指控「毫无根据」。
Kirillov 现年54岁，自2017年起担任俄军辐射、化学与生物防护部队司令。2024年10月，英国政府以涉嫌协助在乌克兰使用化学武器为由，对 Kirillov 及其所属部队实施制裁。截至2024年12月17日，俄方调查仍在进行，爆炸的组织者与实施者尚待调查确认。（来源：俄罗斯联邦侦查委员会、乌克兰国家安全局）
Russian Chemical Defence Chief Igor Kirillov Killed by Scooter Bomb in Moscow
On the morning of December 17, 2024, an explosion outside the entrance of a residential building on Ryazansky Prospekt in southeastern Moscow, Russia, killed Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, chief of the Russian Armed Forces' Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Troops, and his assistant. Russia's Investigative Committee confirmed the two deaths that day and announced that a criminal case had been opened.
According to the Investigative Committee's statement, an explosive device planted in an electric scooter parked next to the entrance of the residential building was detonated that morning, killing Kirillov and his assistant. The committee said its Main Investigative Department for the city of Moscow had opened a criminal case over the killing of the two servicemen, and that investigators and forensic experts were working at the scene to establish all the circumstances of the incident.
A source in Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) told Reuters and AFP that day that the killing was an SBU "special operation," calling Kirillov a "war criminal" and an "absolutely legitimate target." That account came from a Ukrainian source and had not been independently verified as of that day; Ukraine did not publicly claim the operation in a formal statement.
Just one day earlier, on December 16, the Security Service of Ukraine announced that, under the procedural supervision of Ukraine's Prosecutor General's Office, it had served Kirillov with a notice of suspicion in absentia on a war-crime charge. Ukraine alleged that, on Kirillov's orders since the start of the full-scale war, Russian forces had used banned chemical munitions more than 4,800 times on the eastern and southern fronts of Ukraine, including K-1 combat grenades containing the irritant chemical agents CS and CN, and that more than 2,000 Ukrainian service members had been sent to hospitals with varying degrees of chemical poisoning. Ukraine said the munitions and soil samples had been handed over to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons under a chain-of-custody procedure. Russia had previously called such accusations "baseless."
Kirillov, 54, had headed Russia's Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Troops since 2017. In October 2024, the British government sanctioned Kirillov and his unit over their alleged role in helping deploy chemical weapons in Ukraine. As of December 17, 2024, the Russian investigation was continuing, and those who organized and carried out the explosion had yet to be established by investigators.
