Ukraine Said to Kill Russian General Igor Kirillov | Bloomberg The Pulse 12/17/24

Ukraine claimed responsibility for the assassination of the head of Russia’s radiological, chemical and biological defense troops in a bomb explosion in Moscow early Tuesday. Ukraine’s Security Service, or SBU, carried out the killing of Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov and his assistant, according to a person familiar with the operation. The SBU’s press office declined to comment. The two servicemen died when an explosive device planted on a scooter detonated near the entrance to an apartment building, Russia’s Investigative Committee said in a statement. The committee said investigators had opened a criminal case for murder. In economic news, Chinese leaders plan to set an annual growth goal of about 5% for next year and raise the budget deficit to 4% of gross domestic product, Reuters reported, citing two people it didn’t identify.
