Moscow mayor calls a deadly bomb attack on a restaurant a 'terrorist act'

Washington Examiner (AP wire) · back to the audit

Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin called on Sunday a bomb attack on a restaurant in the capital the day before a 'brutal terrorist act,' but did not say who was responsible.

'Yesterday, a brutal terrorist act was committed in Moscow that claimed human lives.'

'Those responsible for committing this crime will certainly be found and will face the punishment they deserve.'

At least 21 people were wounded when the explosive device detonated at the restaurant on Kudrinskaya Square.

The blast on Saturday evening at the Balzi Rossi, an upscale Italian establishment in central Moscow, killed three people, including the female bomber, Russian state media said, citing local officials.

A woman attempted to smuggle the bomb into the establishment, but a security guard refused to let her in.

Russia previously said Kyiv was behind a car bombing in Moscow last April that killed Lt. Gen. Yaroslav Moskalik. Ukraine's SBU security service earlier said it had organized the killing in December 2024 of Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov. Kyiv denied involvement in the attack on Dugina.
