Our team is verifying video footage and photographs posted this morning that purport to show the aftermath of a alleged vehicle-borne explosive explosion that Russian officials say fatally injured a high-ranking military officer in Moscow. Russian authorities confirmed that Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov was inside the vehicle that detonated and that he later died to his wounds. A probe is currently ongoing. The initial step to verify the location from which the pictures originated relied on posts saying the explosion happened on Yasenevaya Ulitsa in the southern district of the capital city of Russia.

Locating additional buildings, streetlights and the road configuration confirmed where the pictures were captured. Additionally, we verified that the video clips were new and that the images had not undergone manipulated.
