Canada echoes U.S. ‘mass casualty event’ warning for Moscow

The U.S. Embassy in Moscow has issued a warning about a "credible" threat of a "mass casualty event" at the Tsaritsyno Museum Reserve in Moscow. In response to the ongoing conflict with Ukraine, Global Affairs Canada (GAC) issued an alert on Saturday, advising Canadians to avoid travel to Russia due to the ongoing conflict and "risk of terrorism."

GAC urged Canadians in Russia to consider leaving the country and to remain inconspicuous if they remain in the country. Government buildings, schools, cultural venues, places of worship, airports and tourist attractions have been targeted in terrorist attacks, many of which have occurred near the Russian-Ukrainian border. Evacuation efforts are ongoing as part of a ceasefire in southern Kherson.
