A powerful explosion rocked the lobby of the "Scarlet Sails" residential complex in northwest Moscow, leaving at least five people injured, including a prominent businessman. Among the victims was Igor Antonenko, a 50-year-old entrepreneur and founder of a clothing company, who sustained serious injuries. His wife, Lyudmila, who also runs her own design business, was reportedly unharmed.
According to preliminary reports, the explosion was caused by a grenade hidden in the ceiling of the lobby. The blast occurred as Antonenko was passing through the area, catching him and others off guard. The injured also included a concierge working at the complex.
Igor Antonenko is well-known in the business community as the founder of "Markos," a company that promoted the youth clothing brand Tom Farr. His wife, Lyudmila, has her own successful design business. The couple has lived in the "Scarlet Sails" complex for some time, a high-end residential development popular among Moscow's elite.
Authorities are investigating the incident, with no immediate information on the motive behind the attack. The explosion has raised concerns about security in the upscale complex, which is known for its stringent safety measures. Investigators are examining whether the grenade was planted intentionally or if it was part of a broader security threat.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the local community, with residents expressing fear and demanding answers. As the investigation continues, questions remain about who could be behind the attack and what their intentions were.
