A Russian general, who is number two in the main directorate of Russia’s GRU military intelligence, has been shot and wounded in Moscow.
Lt Gen Vladimir Alexeyev was attacked in a residential block of flats on the north-western outskirts of Russia’s capital and was immediately taken to hospital. His condition is unknown.
The BBC’s Russia editor Steve Rosenberg reports from the scene, after Alexeyev became the latest high-ranking military figure to have been targeted since the full-scale invasion in Ukraine.
