FSB says US warned Russia of possible Moscow attack

MOSCOW, Oct ‌31 (Reuters) - Russia's ​Federal ​Security Service (FSB) said it had received information from the ‌United States through established partner channels ⁠about preparations for a terrorist attack ‌in Moscow and was ‌taking appropriate measures.

The US Embassy in Moscow said separately it was "aware ​of a credible threat of a mass casualty event" on ⁠Saturday at Moscow's Tsaritsyno Museum Reserve and that ​the US government was coordinating with Russian authorities.

The Tsaritsyno Museum ​Reserve, a palace museum ‌and park complex south of Moscow, has been ⁠temporarily closed and access to the park is currently restricted, the RIA ⁠news agency reported, citing Russian law enforcement ​agencies.

In March 2024, the US Embassy warned that extremists had imminent plans for an ‌attack in Moscow. Days later, gunmen attacked the Crocus ‌City Hall concert venue outside ⁠Moscow, killing more ‌than 140 ​people.
