PRAGUE – Czech law enforcement announced Tuesday that a foreign individual has voluntarily surrendered to police, confessing to hurling incendiary devices at a Russian cultural facility in Prague during the previous week.
Authorities have not released additional identifying information about the individual, who was taken into custody on Monday.
“It is a foreigner who, according to his own words, had planned the act and was preparing for it since summer 2025,” police said on X.
The assault occurred last Thursday evening when the perpetrator launched multiple petrol bombs at the structure.
Law enforcement released photographs showing the blackened exterior of the building located in Prague’s 6th district, an area that houses numerous diplomatic facilities, including Russia’s embassy.
Russian embassy officials reported last week that the assailant hurled six containers filled with combustible materials, with three of them causing damage to the building’s front exterior.
