KYIV — A top Russian military leader accused of using banned chemical weapons against Ukrainian troops was assassinated in Moscow on Tuesday. A source from Ukraine's security service confirmed to NPR that the security service was behind the killing.\

Lt. Col. Igor Kirillov had been in charge of the Russian military's nuclear, biological and chemical protection forces since 2017. Kirillov and one of his aides were killed after an explosive device planted in a scooter detonated.\

The killing took place near the entrance of a residential building in southeastern Moscow, where Russian state media said Kirillov lived. Video shared on Russian social media, which NPR could not independently verify, shows blasted windows and burned buildings at the site.

#Gwadar and Balochistan province are known in #WestAsia for being a hotspot for Baloch separatist insurgents — some of a nationalist bent, others of a Marxist/libertarian-socialist bent — in recent years, with Balochistan guerrillas often attacking facilities belonging to Chinese Companies, which local separatist groups accuse of being "Imperialist and Neo-Colonial Entities", something very nteresting, so to speak, given that such groups trace their origins back to the Soviet Occupation Era of #Afghanistan
