Molotov cocktails thrown at Russian Jewish community center

No one is injured, though damage is caused to the property; Russian security are examining whether the event was anti-Semitic in nature.

In a suspected case of an anti-Semitic hate crime, unknown individuals were caught on camera throwing Molotov cocktails at a building owned by the Jewish Community Federation in the capital of Russia. There were no reported injuries, but the building's façade has been 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.
