Wikipedia says:

"On 25 April 2025, Moskalik was killed in a car bomb explosion in Balashikha, a suburb east of Moscow. According to reports, an improvised explosive device (IED) with shrapnel was detonated remotely in a parked car as Moskalik, who lived in the area, passed by. The explosion was powerful enough to shatter windows in nearby buildings. Russia's Investigative Committee classified the incident as murder and confirmed the use of a homemade explosive device.

The attack followed a similar incident in December 2024, when another Russian general, Igor Kirillov, was killed in a bomb attack in Moscow, attributed by both the Security Service of Ukraine and Russian authorities to Ukrainian intelligence services. The incident occurred amid ongoing tensions in the Russo-Ukrainian War and coincided with diplomatic efforts, including a visit by U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to Moscow to discuss peace proposals."
