The American mission and the Department of State announced on Thursday that they are monitoring reports of extremists planning to target large gatherings in Moscow, including concerts.

The US Embassy in Russia urged Americans to steer clear of large gatherings for the next 48 hours.

The UK Foreign Office released a similar warning, urging citizens to avoid all travel to Russia due to the risk and dangers associated with the current unpredictable situation. The ministry's statement was cited by the Ukrainska Pravda service.
