Russia is in shock following a devastating terror attack at the Crocus City complex on the outskirts of Moscow. The incident, which took place at a popular concert venue, has left at least 133 people dead and 121 others injured, with 44 in serious condition, including two children.
Authorities have detained four suspects believed to be involved in the attack near the border with Ukraine. Despite ISIS claiming responsibility for the assault, Ukraine has denied any connection to the incident.
American officials had reportedly warned Moscow about potential ISIS threats prior to the attack, but President Vladimir Putin dismissed the advice as 'provocative.' Putin later condemned the attack as a 'barbaric terrorist act' in a video statement released on Saturday.
The global community has rallied in support of Russia, with world leaders denouncing the attack. British Foreign Secretary David Cameron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and French President Emmanuel Macron all expressed their condolences and solidarity with the Russian people. The United Nations Security Council labeled the attack as 'heinous and cowardly.'
This tragic event marks the deadliest terror attack in Moscow in decades, sending shockwaves through the country and prompting heightened security measures. The Russian people are mourning the loss of innocent lives and grappling with the aftermath of this senseless act of violence.
