A high-profile general in Russia’s military has been shot several times and wounded in Moscow.

Lt Gen Vladimir Alexeyev was immediately taken to hospital after the attack in a residential block of flats on the north-western outskirts of the Russian capital and his condition is unknown.

Alexeyev is number two in the main directorate of Russia’s GRU military intelligence and the latest high-ranking military figure to have been targeted in the capital since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began almost four years ago.

It is not yet known who was behind the shooting on Friday morning.
