IndiaA bomb blast occurred at a restaurant near Kudrinskaya Square in Moscow on August 1, resulting in three fatalities and 21 injuries. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin labeled the incident a 'cruel terrorist act' and pledged to hold those responsible accountable. According to the National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAC), a woman attempted to enter the restaurant with an improvised explosive device, which was intercepted by a security guard before detonating. The blast killed the woman, the security guard, and a restaurant patron. Authorities are investigating the circumstances, including the woman's knowledge of the device's contents. Sergey Goncharov, a former counter-terrorism officer, speculated that the woman may have been an unwitting courier, possibly lured by financial incentives to deliver a suspicious package. However, there is no confirmed evidence linking the attack to any specific group or individual.
