At least one person has reportedly been shot dead after an unidentified gunman opened fire on the office of the Federal Security Service, the FSB, Russia’s main intelligence agency, in the heart of Moscow.

According to Russian media reports, the man attacked the reception of the Lubyanka building, home to the FSB and its communist-era predecessor the KGB. The victims were described as federal security guards.

The assailant reportedly fled and barricaded himself in a neighbouring building. The security services then shot him dead. They were seeking to establish his identity, the news service Interfax reported.

Five people were injured in the incident and were being treated in hospital, Interfax news agency cited the health ministry as saying. Five ambulances were seen driving from the Lubyanka, which is located in the centre of Moscow, not far from Red Square. Officers reportedly told shoppers to get off the streets “in case of stray bullets”.

The FSB denied earlier reports suggesting there were three gunmen in the attack on its headquarters. The unconfirmed reports said two had been killed in the lobby while the third ran off to a nearby building where he was later killed in a shootout with police.

Among the injured were two seriously hurt officers, the Health Ministry told Russian media. Shortly afterwards, the intelligence agency itself confirmed the death of one FSB officer - though it is not clear if he is one of the two reported injured in the earlier report.
