Conflict · Moscow restaurant bombing · ArchiefMoscow Restaurant Bomb Kills 3: Why Isn't the Kremlin Saying Who the Target Was?Geschreven 7 september 2026 om 21:22 UTCKijkenTranscript0:00A homemade bomb has exploded outside a0:01restaurant in central Moscow, killing at0:04least three people and wounding 21. It0:06happened at around 8:00 p.m. local time0:08on Saturday at a private function at0:10Caring Sky Square. Russia's national0:12anti-terrorist committee says a woman0:14carrying a homemade explosive device0:16tried to enter the restaurant. A0:18security guard stopped her at the door.0:20The bomb detonated anyway. The woman,0:22the guard, and a visitor at the party0:24were killed. An eyewitness described0:26people being led out, women dressed up,0:29some barefoot, carrying belongings and0:31bags, and men who looked like they had0:33come from work. It was not a frontline.0:35It was a Saturday evening in the0:37capital, but the blast fits a lethal0:39pattern. In recent years, several senior0:41Russian military figures have been0:42assassinated in and around Moscow, with0:45the Kremlin blaming Kyiv. Earlier this0:47year, the FSB security service pledged0:49to step up protection for high-ranking0:50officers following what it called a0:52series of assassinations and attempted0:54killings linked to Ukraine. Nearly 240:56hours later, authorities still have not0:58said who the target was. Russia's1:00national anti-terrorist committee has1:02not named the dead, the wounded, or a1:04suspect. It has not confirmed or1:06rejected media reports that a Russian1:08general was celebrating a birthday at1:09the restaurant, and that he may have1:11been the intended victim. The attack is1:13suspected of being linked to the war in1:15Ukraine. But the Kremlin, which has been1:17quick to point fingers in the past, has1:19not yet done so here. For now, that1:21silence is Moscow's only official1:23answer.Lees het artikelTijdlijn van het verhaalHeyDexDe korte video ↗
