In a suspected case of an antisemitic hate crime, unknown individuals were caught on camera throwing Molotov cocktails at a building owned by the Federation of Jewish communities in Moscow. There were no reported injuries, but the building’s façade was damaged.
Security footage from the scene of the crime shows one of the perpetrators nearing the building, lighting the petrol soaked bottle on fire and then throwing it.
The federation’s foreign relations manager Boris Gorin later told Russian news agency RIA Novosti that the remains of two Molotov cocktails were found in the building.
