[Regnum] The Federal Security Service (FSB) received information from the United States through partner channels about a terrorist attack being planned in Moscow. This was reported by the FSB press service on October 31.
“The relevant work is being carried out,” the press service noted.
Earlier that day, the US Embassy in Moscow issued a threat of an event that could result in casualties at the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve. The US government is coordinating response measures with the relevant Russian authorities, the diplomatic mission added.
In early March 2024, the US Embassy in Moscow also warned of the threat of terrorist attacks. The diplomatic mission reported that extremists had plans to attack large gatherings in Moscow, including concerts.

The Tsaritsyno Museum Reserve is a popular tourist destination that was founded in 1775 as Empress Catherine II’s summer home.
The sprawling Palace grounds cover roughly 1,000 acres south of Moscow and attracted over two million visitors in 2022, deputy mayor Natalya Sergunina reported the following year.
The hotspot has been temporarily closed and access to the park is also restricted, the RIA news agency reported, citing Russian law enforcement agencies.
The US previously warned Moscow of the March 22, 2024 Crocus City Hall terror attack that left over 140 people dead and hundreds more wounded.
On March 7, 2024, two weeks before the massacre, the US Embassy warned that “extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts.”
