Authorities said the attack at a concert hall in Moscow is being investigated as terrorism.
An attack at a concert hall in Moscow, Russia, has left 40 people dead and more than 100 wounded, the Kremlin announced on Friday. The attack, which Russian authorities are investigating as terrorism, is the deadliest in recent years. Several gunmen burst into a large concert hall on the edge of Moscow on Friday and began to shoot patrons with automatic weapons. The attack comes days after President Vladimir Putin solidified his grip on the country in a highly orchestrated electoral landslide.
Russian news outlets said people were being evacuated from the venue, but an unspecified number of people could have been trapped inside. The prosecutor’s office said several men in combat fatigues entered the concert hall and fired at visitors. Extended rounds of gunfire could be heard on multiple videos posted by Russian media and Telegram channels. One showed two men with rifles moving through the mall.
