A shocking event unfolded in Moscow when gunmen, dressed in military gear, launched a devastating attack on Crocus City Hall.
The attack happened during a crowded concert featuring the well-known rock band Picnic, causing chaos and fear among attendees.
The attackers, armed with guns, started shooting into the crowd without any discrimination, creating panic and horror.
They also set off explosives, causing a huge fire that engulfed the hall and trapped many people inside.
The impact of the attack is severe, with at least 115 people confirmed dead and 187 injured, including eight children.
Witnesses describe terrifying scenes of people desperately trying to escape the gunfire and flames.
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has claimed responsibility for the attack, but this claim has not yet been independently verified.
This attack is one of the deadliest incidents in Russia since the tragic Beslan school siege in 2004.
In response, Moscow has quickly increased security measures, canceling events and closing public spaces like theaters and museums.
The global community has condemned the attack, offering support and solidarity to the victims and their families.
Despite the darkness, the people of Moscow show resilience as they come together in grief and determination to overcome this adversity.
