The fire broke out in the hall due to the explosion by the terrorists.
The terrorists were wearing bullet proof jackets and also had explosives. After firing, the terrorists also attacked the hall with explosives. Due to this the hall caught fire. The soul will tremble after seeing the horrific picture of the attack.
The biggest attack in Russia after 2004.
This attack is being described as the biggest terrorist attack in Russia after the 2004 Beslan school attack. In 2004, Islamic terrorists took more than 1,000 people, including hundreds of children, hostage when they laid siege to the Beslan school.
Islamic State took responsibility for the attack.
Along with taking responsibility for the attack, Islamic State claimed through its alleged Telegram channel that its terrorists returned to their hideout after carrying out the attack. However, some local media say that the logo with which the terrorist organization has issued the claim may also be fake. This claim has not been confirmed by any local agency at present. It is said that the concert hall is very famous in Moscow, and on the previous day more or less 6200 people were present here.
Former Russian President responded
Dmitry Medvedev, former President of Russia and currently Deputy Chairman of the National Security Council, expressed condolences to the families of those killed in the terrorist attack in a Telegram post on Friday evening. He has said that terrorists understand only the language of terror. If these terrorists are from Ukraine then we cannot deal with them and their ideology in a different way. The attackers who committed this brutality should be found as terrorists and brutally killed. He has said that death will be answered with death.
