Summary
Three people were killed and at least 21 injured after an explosion ripped through Moscow’s Balzi Rossi restaurant around 8 p.m. Saturday during a private event.
Russia’s National Anti-Terrorism Committee said a homemade explosive device caused the blast, and state media reported a woman carrying the bomb detonated it after a security guard stopped her at the entrance.
Mayor Sergei Sobyanin on Sunday called the attack a “brutal terrorist act,” said the wounded were being treated in city hospitals, and vowed those responsible would be found and punished.
No suspects have been identified and no group has claimed responsibility, while authorities have not linked the bombing to earlier assassination attempts in Russian cities or to the war in Ukraine.
