Crocus City Hall attack: death toll exceeds 130

The death toll from the terrorist attack on the Crocus City Hall concert venue in Krasnogorsk outside Moscow has exceeded 130, Russia's Investigative Committee said. More than 100 people were injured.

On the evening of 22 March, before a concert by the band Piknik, armed men opened fire on the audience and then set the building on fire. The fire engulfed most of the hall, and the roof collapsed.

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack. Four alleged attackers have been detained in the Bryansk region.
