[モスクワ ８日 ロイター] – The US Embassy in Russia warned that an “extremist” group was planning an attack in Moscow.

Although the details were not disclosed, the website stated, “We have received reports of an impending extremist attack targeting concerts and other large gatherings.” We ask you to avoid it.”

Hours earlier, Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) announced that it had prevented an attack on a Jewish church in Moscow by an affiliate of the Islamic State (IS) extremist group.

It is unclear whether the two announcements are related.
