[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Another one of Vladimir Putin's top generals targeted right here in Moscow. This time it's Lieutenant General Vladimir Alexeev. Now he's the deputy head of Russia's military intelligence service, the GRU. And the investigative committee here in Moscow says that he was shot several times in a residential building in the northwest of Moscow. They say right now the general is in hospital and he is in serious condition. Now this is not the first such incident here in the Russian capital. In fact about a month ago a car bomb killed one of Vladimir Putin's top officers. And in the late stages of 2024 another remotely controlled car bomb also killed a top Russian general. Now the investigative committee says it doesn't know who's behind the attempted killing. But they also in the past have blamed Ukraine for such incidents.
