Deaths and injuries have been reported after a gun attack at a concert hall near Moscow, Russian media say.
At least four people dressed in camouflage opened fire at the Crocus City Hall, social media video verified by the BBC shows.
Video obtained by Reuters news agency shows a large blaze and smoke rising from the hall.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry described the incident as a “terrorist attack”. Specialist police are at the scene
Footage on social media showed gunmen inside the concert hall while state media reported that some people were still inside.
Tass news agency reported a third of the concert venue is on fire and the roof is almost completely ablaze.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called on the international community to condemn the incident, which it called “a monstrous crime”.
US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the images of the shooting were “horrible and hard to watch”.
Should have done this when Traitor Tucker was in the neighbourhood smh
Not everything is about the US.
If the US wasn’t largely compromised by Russian assets, Tucker being one of them, would this war have even started?
Even from a non-American central viewpoint, anything that takes away from Russia asset pool is a positive, no?
This is looking more and more like a Ruzzian inside job to drum up war support, as is Ruzzian tradition
Uh, yeah most likely. See: 2014 Annexation
