The US embassy in Russia has issued an urgent warning regarding planned extremist activities in Moscow, signaling an immediate threat following the Russian Federal Security Service's thwarting of a shooting at a synagogue by an Islamic State cell originating from Afghanistan. This advisory urges US citizens to evacuate Russia promptly and avoid any large public gatherings. This development intensifies the already strained US-Russia relations, further complicated by accusations from Russia of US support for Ukraine amidst the ongoing conflict.
