Moscow Apartment Bombings: In 1999, a series of apartment bombings rocked several Russian cities, including Moscow and Buynaksk. These attacks, which killed nearly 300 people, were blamed on Chechen militants and served as a pretext for Russia's second military intervention in Chechnya.

Moscow Metro Bombings: In recent years, there have been several deadly bombings on the Moscow Metro. Notable incidents include the 2010 Moscow Metro bombings, where two female suicide bombers killed over 40 people, and the 2017 St. Petersburg Metro bombing, which killed 15 people and injured dozens more.

Domodedovo Airport Bombing: In 2011, a suicide bombing at Moscow's Domodedovo International Airport killed 37 people and injured over 100 others. The attack was carried out by a male suicide bomber from the North Caucasus region.
