Russia Summons Czech Envoy After Molotov Attack on Prague Cultural Center

Police opened a property-damage inquiry focused on finding the attackers.

Overview

  • The Russian House in Prague’s Dejvice district, struck Thursday night by multiple Molotov cocktails, sustained scorched walls and shattered windows, and no injuries were reported.
  • Czech police posted photos of the damage on X, opened a property-damage case, and said they are searching for the attackers.
  • Russia summoned the Czech ambassador and condemned the assault, echoing the center director’s claim in a video that it was a terrorist attack.
  • The center’s operator said three firebombs hit the facade and three landed inside without igniting.
  • The site sits near the Russian embassy and is run by a Russian state agency on an EU sanctions list for spreading Kremlin propaganda, which has kept the venue under pressure from protest groups.
