Camoflauge-clad individuals opened fire on a crowded concert hall and shopping complex just outside of Moscow on Friday before setting the structure ablaze, according to local official statements and media reports.
Through his Telegram account, Moscow City Mayor Sergey Sobyanin wrote: “A terrible tragedy occurred today in Crocus City shopping center.” He said he had instructed emergency personnel to provide all possible assistance and had opted to cancel all sporting, cultural, and other public events in Moscow this weekend.
Reliable casualty figures were not available as of the time of publication, but as of the time of writing, Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) estimated some 40 people had been killed and more than 100 wounded, according to the AP.
Video footage published on Russian social media/chat platform Telegram showed graphic images of violent attacks by individuals dressed head to toe in camouflage. Photos posted to Russian social media also showed the complex in flames. Disturbing footage captured extended gunfire exchanges, individuals brandishing rifles, and heart-wrenching scenes of attackers callously targeting innocent victims at close range, evoking shock and horror across the nation.
Local media outlets 112 and Baza reported that as many as 100 individuals may still have been trapped inside the burning structure as of the time of writing.
This assault, which resulted in both fatalities and injuries, marks the most severe terrorist incident in Russia in the past two decades. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
The attack occurred days after President Vladimir Putin solidified his nearly three-decade-long rule through a meticulously orchestrated electoral triumph.
US White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby expressed profound dismay at the distressing visuals emerging from the tragedy, underscoring the profound impact of the calamitous events that have unfolded saying, “the images are just horrible … and just hard to watch.”
