At Least 40 People Have Been Killed In An Apparent Terrorist Attack In Moscow

At least 40 people have been killed in an apparent terrorist attack in Moscow. According to unofficial reports, many others have been wounded, and there is a good chance that the death toll will rise. The attack came in the form of gunmen in combat fatigues opening fire and detonating explosives in a concert hall in Moscow.

Photos show the Crocus City Music Hall engulfed in flames. Videos show at least four gunmen opening fire with automatic weapons as panicked civilians fled. In one gruesome video, three men in fatigues fired at point blank range into bodies strewn around the lobby of the concert.

Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin called the attack a “great tragedy.” The Russian news agency 112, which specializes in crime reporting, put the death toll as high as 40, and more than 100 injured. It is unclear if police have managed to neutralize the attackers as of now.

This attack comes amid the backdrop of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and attempt to wait for the West to lose interest and focus on the war. Already, there have been allegations that Ukraine has some responsibility for this terror attack. These allegations have quickly been denied by the United States.

“There is no indication at this time that Ukraine, or Ukrainians, were involved in the shooting,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters. Kirby also offered condolences to the victims of the attack. As this event unfolds, things may start to become more clear. But this being Russia, it is possible that the truth may be spun.

At least 40 people have been killed in an apparent terrorist attack in Moscow. But how many people died in total? Who perpetrated this terror attack? At the moment, we are unsure. But it is obvious that this was a tragedy.
