Explosion at Balzi Rossi Restaurant: Suicide Bomber, Security Guard, and Secret Military Banquet

A powerful explosion occurred in the center of Moscow, shaking the city and resulting in the deaths of three people. The incident took place on August 1st on the terrace of the popular Balzi Rossi restaurant. Initially, rumors circulated in the media about a gas pipe explosion, but the investigation quickly refuted this version.

The Suicide Bomber Theory

The Russian National Anti-Terrorism Committee confirmed that the cause of the tragedy was a homemade explosive device. It was brought by a woman whom the venue's security guard did not allow inside. The device detonated precisely on the terrace at the moment the guard was trying to stop the intruder.

According to Russian media reports, the woman was used by her employers "in the dark." This means she may not have known about the presence of explosives at the time she was heading to the restaurant. The force of the explosion was equivalent to one kilogram of TNT, which led to significant damage and casualties.

Casualties and Injured

As a result of the explosion, three people died: the woman herself, the restaurant's security guard, and one of the guests. Another 21 people sustained injuries of varying degrees of severity. Among the deceased was a representative of the so-called "elites," who was present at a closed event.

Secret Military Banquet

At the time of the explosion, a closed event was taking place at the Balzi Rossi restaurant. According to sources, a banquet with guests from the Russian military command was scheduled to take place at the venue. Some publications report it was the birthday of a General of the Russian Army, while others claim it was a wedding. In any case, the event was of a closed nature and did not expect the presence of outsiders.

Reaction of Authorities and Media

After the explosion, the National Anti-Terrorism Committee intervened and immediately began an investigation. The theory of a gas explosion was quickly discarded, and attention focused on the terrorist act. Russian media are actively covering the events, trying to find out details and the names of the participants.

The situation remains tense, and the authorities promise to conduct a thorough investigation to identify the organizers and perpetrators of the terrorist act. For now, the city is trying to recover from the shock caused by this tragic event.
