U.S. Embassy warns of ‘mass casualty’ threat at Moscow’s Tsaritsyno museum. FSB confirms receiving the warning.
The U.S. Embassy in Moscow issued a security alert saying it had learned of a threat to the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve:
The U.S. Embassy in Moscow has warned of a potential "mass casualty" incident at the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve in Moscow today, October 31, 2026. The Federal Security Service (FSB) has confirmed receiving this alert. The museum, however, claims to have no knowledge of any threat and continues to operate as usual. The U.S. Embassy has recommended that all U.S. citizens avoid the site, stay alert, and review their personal security plans.
The embassy suggests keeping cellphones charged and enrolling in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program for updates. This is not the first such warning; in March 2024, the U.S. Embassy issued a similar alert prior to the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack.
