Three killed, 15 injured in Moscow restaurant blast during general’s party
Three people were killed and 15 injured in an explosion at the Balzi Rossi restaurant on Kudrinskaya Square in central Moscow.
At a restaurant in central Moscow, three individuals lost their lives and 15 others were injured when an explosion occurred during a general's birthday celebration, according to Russia's Interior Ministry. The incident took place at the Balzi Rossi restaurant on Kudrinskaya Square. According to a witness cited by Astra, the event was underway when the blast went off.
Local chat groups dismissed theories of a gas leak, asserting the restaurant lacked a gas supply. Initial reports suggested a gas leak might be the cause, but later investigations are exploring multiple possibilities. The Russian Telegram channel 112 mentioned an unknown person carrying an unidentified object into the restaurant, while the Investigative Committee noted the exact number of casualties was still being determined.
Among the victims were Sergey L., Igor G., and 20-year-old dancer Yevdokia K., with two of them in critical condition. Major road closures were reported near Kudrinskaya Square, and a cycling festival on the Garden Ring was canceled due to technical issues. Videos from the scene were circulating on Russian Telegram channels, detailing the explosion and subsequent fire inside the restaurant.
