A blast occurred at a restaurant in central Moscow, resulting in the deaths of three individuals and injuries to 21 others. Among the deceased are a security guard, who reportedly attempted to stop the woman from entering the premises, and the woman herself, whom authorities have identified as a suspected bomber.

Reports regarding the circumstances of the explosion remain preliminary. While officials have labeled the woman a suspect, there is ongoing uncertainty regarding her intent. Some reports suggest the possibility that the woman may not have been aware she was carrying explosives, though this has not been confirmed by official investigative bodies. The background and motive behind the attack remain unclear as local authorities continue their investigation into the site and the individuals involved. The incident has drawn attention due to the public nature of the location and the involvement of security personnel in preventing further casualties.
