US Embassy warns of 'credible' mass-casualty threat at Moscow's Tsaritsyno museum; FSB confirms the warning and the park is closed
The US Embassy in Moscow warned on Saturday, 31 October, of a "credible threat of a mass casualty event" that same day at the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve in the south of the city and told Americans to stay away. Russia's FSB security service said it had received information from the US about preparations for a terrorist attack in Moscow and was acting on it. The museum park was closed and visitors were evacuated; no incident or casualties had been reported by Saturday evening.
