According to authorities, at least three people were killed and 21 others were injured following an explosion at an Italian restaurant in Moscow. The National Anti-Terror Committee (NAK) reported that a homemade explosive device detonated around 8 p.m. local time (7 p.m. German time) on Kudrinskaya Square, near the city center. The device is believed to have been carried by a woman who attempted to enter the restaurant but was stopped by a security guard. Tragically, the explosion killed the woman, the security guard, and another restaurant visitor. The restaurant, located within one of Moscow’s famous Stalin-era high-rises, was hosting a private party when the incident occurred.
