The U.S. Embassy in Moscow warned Saturday of a “credible threat of a mass-casualty event” at the Tsaritsyno Museum Reserve and urged people to avoid the site.
The alert identified the location as the museum and park complex at 1 Dolskaya Street in southern Moscow and said the threat applied to October 31. The embassy said the U.S. government was coordinating with Russian authorities but provided no details about the suspected plot, possible targets within the reserve or who might be responsible.
Russia’s Federal Security Service said it had received information from U.S. partners about preparations for a terrorist attack in Moscow and was taking appropriate measures, according to Russian state media cited by multiple news outlets.
The embassy advised people to stay away from the area, avoid crowds, remain aware of their surroundings and monitor local news. It also urged U.S. citizens in Russia to follow instructions from authorities, keep their cellphones charged, carry identification and review their personal security plans.
Russian authorities had not publicly released further details about the threat. The alert did not indicate whether the Tsaritsyno site had been closed or whether arrests had been made. No attack or injuries were immediately reported.
