A major terrorist attack took place in the Russian capital Moscow on Friday.
Gunmen opened indiscriminate fire on people at a large Christian gathering place. More than 60 people have lost their lives in this attack.
More than 100 people are also injured. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has condemned this attack. He has expressed commitment towards Russia. Let us tell you that the terrorists had entered the venue of the ceremony wearing army uniform.
PM Modi said, ‘We strongly condemn the heinous terrorist attack in Moscow. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims. India stands in solidarity with the government and people of the Russian Federation in this hour of grief.
Just a few days ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin further strengthened his hold on power by winning the elections held in Russia. In such a situation, this incident can prove to be a big challenge for them.
No organization has yet taken responsibility for this attack. This is considered to be the worst terrorist attack in Russia in the last two decades. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin called the attack a huge tragedy. Russia’s top investigative agency is investigating the incident of firing and explosion as a terrorist attack.
Several Russian media outlets reported the shooting and said the shooting caused a fire at a mall at the site. Videos posted on social media showed a large plume of black smoke rising above the building.
The attack took place when a crowd of people had gathered at the Crocus City Hall to attend a concert by the famous Russian rock band ‘Picnik’. This hall can seat more than 6,000 people.
