Trump warns Russia of possible attack in Moscow

The United States embassy in Moscow warned of a "credible" threat of an attack with numerous victims at the Tsaritsyno Museum Reserve on October 31. Russia's FSB confirmed it had received the warning and said it was taking "appropriate" measures.

The alert came in writing and with a specific time. The US embassy in Moscow reported that it was "aware of a credible threat of an incident with numerous casualties" for that same day, **October 31**, at the Tsaritsyno Museum Reserve, a complex in the south of the capital combining an imperial palace and a park. The warning included concrete instructions for its citizens: avoid the area, stay alert and steer clear of crowds.

## The FSB confirms the warning and the park closes

Russia's security service, the **FSB**, acknowledged receiving information from the United States "about the preparation of a terrorist attack." According to Russian news agencies, its statement merely noted that "the relevant measures are being carried out." Not a word about suspects.

The Telegram channel **Baza**, which reportedly has ties to law enforcement, reported that the park was closed and "open only for exits," with law enforcement officers deployed on the grounds. Tsaritsyno is a very busy destination on weekends, which explains the seriousness of the warning.

## A precedent that weighs heavily

This is not the first time Washington has passed information of this kind to Moscow. In **March 2024**, weeks before the **ISIS-K** attack on a concert hall in the Russian capital, it had already warned of an imminent plan. That attack killed more than **100 people**.

The US embassy did not detail who might be behind the threat. Nor has the FSB provided information about the investigation. What there is, for now, is a dated warning, a closed park and two governments confirming they have been in contact.
