Igor Kirillov and his assistant were killed on the morning of December 17 when an explosive device detonated in a scooter standing next to the entranceway. The explosion occurred near a seven-story apartment building on Ryazansky Avenue in Moscow. A criminal case of murder, terrorist act and illegal arms trafficking (Article 105, Article 205 and Article 222 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) was opened over the incident.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova drew attention to the fact that Kirillov had been systematically exposing Western crimes for many years, working fearlessly and never hiding behind the backs of others. For his part, Rodion Miroshnik, the Russian Foreign Ministry's ambassador-at-large for Ukraine 's crimes, noted that the general cited evidence that was threatening and painful for Russia's adversaries.

The governor of the Kostroma region, Sergey Sitnikov, said that Kirillov had warned that he was being hunted. The head of the region linked this to the fact that the lieutenant general was leading an investigation about secret biological laboratories, including in Ukraine. Sitnikov is confident that Kirillov's murder will be solved and the perpetrators will be punished.
