A bomb exploded at a restaurant in central Moscow on Sunday, killing three people and wounding at least 21 others, according to multiple news outlets including BBC, Bloomberg, and The Guardian.
The blast occurred at an eatery in the Russian capital, with state media first reporting the incident. Reports from The Guardian and NBC News indicate the device was carried by a woman who entered the venue before it detonated. The exact circumstances of the explosion, including the woman’s identity or motive, have not been confirmed by authorities in the initial coverage.
Bloomberg and ABC News both put the casualty count at three dead and 21 injured, aligning with the BBC’s reporting. The Guardian’s account specifies that the bomb was carried by a woman, a detail echoed by NBC News, which described the device as being brought into the restaurant area. No group has claimed responsibility, and Russian officials have not yet issued a formal statement beyond confirming the death toll, per the cited reports.
The attack adds to a series of security incidents in Moscow in recent months, though the provided reporting does not link this blast to any broader pattern or prior events. The restaurant’s name and exact location have not been disclosed in the summaries.
What to watch next: Investigators are likely to release more details on the woman’s identity and whether the bombing was part of a coordinated operation, as Russian authorities respond to the deadliest such incident in the capital this year.
