Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin has described the bombing at the Balzi Rossi restaurant in the Russian capital as a brutal terrorist act. The explosion happened on Saturday evening and quickly drew national attention because of the fatalities and the high-profile location.
According to the available report, Sobyanin condemned the attack but did not identify who he believed was responsible. That left key questions unresolved as officials and state media reported on the aftermath of the blast.
Russian state media said three people were killed, including the woman who carried out the bombing. The attack took place at the Balzi Rossi restaurant in Moscow, with early details focusing on the death toll rather than on any confirmed motive or group involvement.
With responsibility still unclear, the incident has added to uncertainty around security in the city. Based on the limited information available, authorities had not publicly named any suspects or provided a fuller explanation of how the attack was planned or why the restaurant was targeted.
