Our team is analyzing video footage and photographs shared earlier today that show the aftermath of a alleged car bomb blast that Russian officials state killed a high-ranking military officer in Moscow. Russian authorities stated that Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov was inside the car that exploded and that he later died of his wounds. An investigation is currently ongoing. Our starting point to verify the location from which the pictures originated relied on social media reports indicating the blast happened on Yasenevaya Ulitsa in the southern part of the Russian capital. We used street-view imagery on Google Maps and the local mapping service Yandex Maps to corroborate the distinctive yellow colour of a nearby apartment building captured in the footage. Identifying additional buildings, lamp-posts and the street layout confirmed the exact location the footage were captured. We also checked that the video clips were new and that the images had not been manipulated.
