US denies involvement in killing of Russia military official Igor Kirillov in Moscow

The United States was not aware of it in advance and was not involved. Matthew Miller, Spokesperson of the US Department of State, announced this at Tuesday’s Department press briefing and in response to a question about the explosion in Moscow that killed Igor Kirillov, the head of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Troops of the Russian Armed Forces.
"I don’t have any assessment on that — that explosion. I can tell you that the United States was not aware of it in advance and was not involved. (…). Obviously, he was a general who was involved in a number of atrocities. He was involved in the use of chemical weapons against Ukrainian military," said Miller.
