A bomb attack in Moscow has claimed the lives of three individuals and left 21 others injured. The incident occurred around 8pm when a homemade explosive device went off as a woman attempted to enter a restaurant that was hosting a private event. The woman and a security guard, who was attempting to stop her, were killed in the blast.
A visitor to the restaurant also sustained injuries. The motive behind the attack remains unclear, but Russian independent media suggest it may have been aimed at a military official, with the attack possibly linked to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The Kremlin has previously accused Ukraine of orchestrating similar assassinations of high-ranking Russian military figures in and around Moscow.
