U.S. and UK warn of potential attacks in Moscow, advise citizens to avoid large gatherings

Following the US Embassy's March 7 alert, the British Embassy in Moscow has echoed the advice, emphasizing the need for caution among its citizens. The advisory cites unspecified reports indicating that extremists may be planning to target large gatherings, including concerts, in Moscow. However, embassy officials did not provide specific details regarding the nature of the threat or potential targets.

In response to the security concerns, local authorities are expected to implement stringent security measures near potential target areas in Moscow until at least March 9. This may lead to localized disruptions in traffic and business operations. (ILKHA)
