Carmine Alfieri's Balzi Rossi restaurant in Moscow experiences explosion that kills three people and injures 15 others
Carmine Alfieri's Balzi Rossi restaurant in central Moscow experienced an explosion on Saturday evening, resulting in at least three deaths and 15 injuries. The blast occurred near an outdoor terrace at the base of a Stalin-era skyscraper on Kudrinskaya Square. While the exact cause of the explosion is under investigation, Russian state media suggested it may have been caused by a gas canister detonating in the kitchen area. Simultaneously, Russia launched a massive ballistic missile barrage against Kyiv, killing at least nine people and injuring 28 others. The administration announced that President Trump said he was unsure if he would allow Ukraine to build Patriot surface-to-air interceptor missiles under license. This decision may impact Kyiv's hopes of reducing reliance on Washington for critical air defenses. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy requested permission from Elon Musk to use Starlink satellite internet services to guide strikes inside Russian territory, a request made directly to President Trump during their recent meeting. The administration announced that President Trump did not commit to the request yet.
