Explosion in Russian Consulate: The explosion occurred in Marsile, France on Monday (February 24, 2025). The Russian Foreign Ministry described the blasts on the Russian Embassy as a terrorist attack. The TAAS (Russian news agency) quoted Foreign Ministry spokesman Maria Zakharova as saying that there is a sign of a terrorist attack in the explosion on the Russian embassy in Marselle. At the same time, no information has been revealed about anyone being injured or any kind of loss in this incident.
Spokesperson Maria Jakharova said that he demands a quick investigation into the attack on the Russian Embassy from France. Apart from this, he also demanded to take steps to strengthen the safety of Russian foreign missions. The special thing is that this incident happened when the Russia-Ukraine war has completed three years.
Two Molotov cocktails were thrown in the embassy
According to reports, unknown assailants threw two molotov cocktails inside the embassy. A stolen car has also been recovered from the spot. Since the attack, the area has been cordoned off by the police of the city.
There was also an attack in Kabul, Afghanistan
The Russian embassy was attacked in September 2022 in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, before Marsile. The attacks in Marsile have brought back memories of Kabul attacks, in which there were attacks near the entry gate of the Russian Embassy. At least six people were killed in these attacks, out of which four people were those who came to take their visas to visit Russia, while two employees belonged to the embassy. ISIS took responsibility for the attacks on the Russian Embassy in Kabul.
