A bomb blast in a Moscow restaurant has been identified as a "terrorist attack," according to the city's mayor. The incident resulted in at least two deaths and 21 injuries, with authorities yet to confirm the identities of the victims. An unidentified woman, believed to be carrying an improvised explosive device, attempted to enter a private event on the restaurant's outdoor terrace.
Security forces intercepted her, leading to the device's detonation, killing the woman, the security guard, and a customer. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin condemned the attack, stating that those responsible "will certainly be found and will face the punishment they deserve." The restaurant, situated near a prominent tower in Moscow's central Presnensky district, reported being deeply saddened by the tragedy and expressed condolences to the affected families.
Speculation has arisen regarding the motive and perpetrators of the attack, which bears similarities to a 2023 bombing targeting a pro-war blogger.
