Bomb Explosion at Moscow Restaurant Near US Embassy Kills Five

A bomb exploded during a birthday party at the Balzi Rossi restaurant in central Moscow, killing five people and injuring 21. The blast occurred on the weekend, targeting a general who survived unharmed. The restaurant, located in a Stalin-era building near the US Embassy and the Moscow Zoo, is known from the Soviet film 'Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears'. A courier unknowingly delivered the explosive device. The attack has raised suspicions of Ukrainian intelligence involvement, as the general's career has been shaped by the Putin era. The incident has turned a previously peaceful location into a scene of terror.
