WorldFrom St. Petersburg to Crocus City Hall: How U.S. warnings of terrorist attacks in Russia have played out

After the U.S. Embassy warned on October 31 of a possible attack at Moscow’s Tsaritsyno complex, the site closed and no attack occurred. The article reviews three prominent cases in which the U.S. shared information about potential attacks in Russia, in 2017, 2019, and 2024. Less than two weeks after the 2024 warning, an attack at Crocus City Hall killed 150 people. Russia called the U.S. intelligence general in nature, while sources cited by Western media said it was more specific and named Crocus as a possible target.
