Bomb Explosion Near Moscow Restaurant Kills Three, Injures Over 20PreviousNext

A bomb exploded near the Balzi Rossi restaurant in central Moscow on Saturday evening, killing three people—including the woman carrying the device, a security guard, and a patron—and injuring at least 21 others. The explosion occurred outside the restaurant during a private event, with the woman stopped by security before the device detonated. Authorities are investigating the incident, which involved an improvised explosive device. Some reports suggest the bomb may have been remotely detonated without the carrier's knowledge.
