The bomb attack that struck central Moscow on the evening of August 1, 2026, marked a serious threat to the capital's security. The explosion at a restaurant on Kudrinskaya Square killed three people and injured 21.

Russia's National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAK) announced that the explosion was caused by the detonation of an improvised explosive device. The female attacker had tried to enter the restaurant but was stopped by a security guard. She then detonated the explosives she was carrying. The blast killed the bomber, the security guard who tried to stop her, and a restaurant customer.

The incident occurred during a private event at the restaurant, which is located on the ground floor of a famous building. The force of the explosion caused a fire in the building, and surrounding roads were closed to traffic. Numerous emergency teams, ambulances, and fire trucks were dispatched to the area. Due to security concerns, the Moscow Night Bike Festival planned for that night was also canceled.
