American officials have urged U.S. citizens to avoid the area around the museum, avoid crowds, and to carry proper identification. They have further stated that the government is cooperating with Russian officials “on a response.” 

Open source intelligence accounts have noted that the warning was similar to the one issued in the lead up to the Crocus City Hall attack carried out by ISIS-K that killed 151 and left another 609 injured. American officials shared intelligence and issued a public statement warning of the danger, but those efforts were largely ignored.

The US Embassy in Russia has issued a warning to avoid the Tsaritysyno Museum Reserve in Moscow due to the “credible threat of a mass casualty event TODAY.” A similar, but more general, warning was issued before the ISIS-K Crocus City Hall attack. https://t.co/hw6wT6alYo
