BBC: Russian GRU military spy chief Igor Sergun dies
The head of Russia's secretive GRU military intelligence service, Gen Igor Sergun, has died suddenly aged 58.
Expressing condolences, President Vladimir Putin called him "an experienced and competent commander, a man of great courage, a true patriot".
The circumstances of his death are not clear. He became GRU chief in 2011.
In 2014 he was placed on EU and US sanctions lists targeting top Russian officials after Russia's annexation of Crimea, in southern Ukraine.
The EU list said Gen Sergun was "responsible for the activity of GRU officers in eastern Ukraine".
Gen Sergun is not thought to have had direct combat experience when he took charge of the GRU.
WNU Editor: Moscow is very quiet on this passing-away. Just Putin's condolences .... nothing more. My take is that everyone was surprised by his demise .... and this week is also Russian Orthodox Christmas .... everyone is focused on the long weekend.
