Fakhrizadeh accompanied by two bodyguard vehicles arrived in Absard town east of the capital Tehran at around 2 pm local time on Friday, November 27, 2020.
His car was stopped when fires were shot one kilometer past the entrance to the town near a garden known as Sarhang. Afterwards, a Nissan pickup loaded with lumber and explosives hidden underneath blew up.
After the explosion, the street was littered with lumber within a radius of 500 metres. The pylon next to the pickup truck was also damaged by the explosion.

Immediately after the gunfight, Fakhrizadeh was taken to a nearby clinic before being medevacked to hospital, where died of the injuries.
