On Kudrinskaya Square the police cordon has been lifted outside the Balzi Rossi Italian restaurant. Investigators have left the scene. On Saturday night it had been surrounded by heavily armed police; a string of ambulances and emergency services vehicles had been parked outside.Standing next to the restaurant's summer terrace I spot signs of what happened here. A shattered window, pock-marked walls - a bomb had exploded with deadly consequences. Russian state media reports at least three people were killed and 21 injured.Russia's National Anti-Terrorism Committee believes that a woman with an improvised explosive device had tried to walk into the restaurant. Russian news outlets have suggested she may have been a courier trying to deliver a package to one of the guests at a private function; she may not have known the true contents of the parcel. A security guard prevented her from entering. Moments later the device detonated.Since the attack there have been unconfirmed reports that a senior Russian military commander was at the restaurant that night. However, there is still no official confirmation of the guest list and who exactly had been attending the private dinner.The Kremlin has yet to comment. But in a statement posted on Sunday, the Italy" class="entity-link entity-organization" data-entity-id="177172" data-entity-type="organization">Russian Embassy in Italy blamed the restaurant attack on Ukraine.
