Russia observed a national day of mourning on Sunday, following Friday night’s attack on a suburban Moscow concert hall that killed over 130 people.
Traffic on the highway passes a message displayed on a billboard that reads:"We Mourn 03.22.2024" in Moscow, Russia, Saturday, March 23, 2024, following an attack Friday, for which the Islamic State group claimed responsibility. Russian officials say more than 90 people have been killed by assailants who burst into a concert hall and sprayed the crowd with gunfire.
After Igor saw the reports of gunmen opening fire on concertgoers, he rushed to the site but couldn’t find her in the numerous ambulances or among the hundreds of people who had made their way out of the venue. But his wife wasn’t among the 154 reported injured, nor on the list of 50 victims authorities have already identified, he said.
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to be trying to tie Ukraine to the attack, something its government firmly denies. Putin did not mention IS in his speech to the nation, and Kyiv accused him and other Russian politicians of falsely linking Ukraine to the assault to stoke fervor for Russia’s fight in Ukraine, which recently“ISIS bears sole responsibility for this attack. There was no Ukrainian involvement whatsoever,” National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said in a statement.
