The number of people killed in the terrorist attack in Russia has exceeded 80

Yesterday, on March 22, unknown persons opened fire and blew up the Crocus City Hall concert hall in the Moscow region, where the concert of the band "Piknik" was taking place. More than 80 people were killed in the attack. The Ministry of Health reported that 115 victims were admitted to hospitals, of which five were children. It is said that the number of victims and wounded may still increase.

On March 7, the special services of seven Western countries warned that terrorist acts may be organized in places where people gather a lot in Russia. Putin called these reports "open blackmail" and assessed it as an attempt to intimidate Russians.

ISIS has now claimed responsibility for this terrorist attack. ISIS-Khorasan is known as one of the most radical and brutal jihadist groups. In the last two years, ISIS-Khorasan has been focusing on Russia and mostly criticizing Putin.
