## Summary

The US Embassy in Moscow warned of a credible threat of a mass casualty event at the Tsaritsyno Museum Reserve on 31 October, urging people to avoid the area and crowds. The alert matters because the museum and its grounds are popular with visitors and local residents, and the embassy said it was coordinating with Russian authorities.

Founded in 1775 as a summer home for Catherine II, the museum drew more than two million visitors in 2022, while its surrounding grounds attract additional foot traffic. The embassy also advised people in the Moscow area to keep phones and batteries charged, remain aware of their surroundings and review personal security plans. The warning came amid escalating Russia-Ukraine war tensions, including a Ukrainian strike on a Russian oil refinery and Russian strikes that reportedly killed at least 27 civilians.
