At least 12 people have been reported dead after three camoflagued individuals wielding machine guns opened fire at a concert hall in Moscow.

Russian news agency RIA Novosti said at least three people in combat fatigues stormed the Crocus Music Hall in central Moscow and started shooting.

Video footage from the scene also shows a fire has broken out at the music hall, with thick plumes of smoke billowing into the sky.

Meanwhile, Russian news agency TASS reported that the perpetrators potentially used machine guns. No more details were provided.

MOSCOW (AP) — Several assailants burst into a large concert hall in Moscow on Friday and sprayed the crowd with gunfire, killing at least 40 people, injuring more than 100 others and setting fire to the venue in a brazen attack just days after President Vladimir Putin cemented his grip on power in a highly orchestrated electoral landslide.

 

It wasn't immediately clear what happened to the attackers, and there were no immediate claims of responsibility for the raid, which Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin described as a “huge tragedy" and which state authorities were investigating as terrorism. The attack, which left the concert hall in flames with a collapsing roof, was the deadliest in Russia in years and came as the country's war in Ukraine dragged into a third year.

Russia’s Federal Security Service, the main domestic security and counter-terrorism agency, said 40 people were killed and more than 100 were wounded in the attack at Crocus City Hall, a large music venue on Moscow’s western edge.

The assailants threw explosives, triggering the massive blaze at the hall, which can accommodate 6,000, according to Russian news outlets. Video from outside showed the building on fire, with a huge cloud of smoke rising through the night sky. The street was lit up by the blinking blue lights of dozens of firetrucks, ambulances and other emergency vehicles, as several fire helicopters buzzed overhead to dump water on the blaze.

this scares me for Ukraine. With Putins "reelection" he'll use this to do something far worse than he already has.

How sad can it get when the rest of the world is more worried about the cost of their gas than the Ukrainians trying to defend their country. Bottom line of all this is that the west could have ended this conflict 2 Years ago by properly arming Ukraine. Equipping Ukrainians so they don’t get blood on their own hands. Sickening. 
 

The west is playing politics on so many levels at the expense of Ukraine. Zelenskyy has to swallow the bullshit but I doubt he or his countrymen will ever forget. The weapons and money being dripped into Ukraine is not a gift or other form of benevolence. It is a calculated form of self interest. 

 

It’s called politics and self interest, it’s been like that forever and it will never go away.

I’m calling Bull Shit  on this ..

 

it was Putin .

 


 

ISIS terrorists in a Van with UKraine plates ..

 

even movie scripts aren’t this lame.


It’s bullshit. 
 

False Flag operations were known and posted a long time ago. 
 

Putin may just be trying galvanize the Russian people to support his ‘election’ and what will follow. 
 

Armed men in camouflage with military equipment and explosives doesn’t ring true for ISIS. 

 

And even if it was, then Putin can’t properly defend his own borders and doesn’t have a clue who is going in or out at the Borders. 
 

I don’t buy it for a second.

So vans with Ukrainian plates made it across the border? Or they just decided to put the plates on during the attack??

 

What nonsense.

Another step closer,.  Or ,  just maybe ..

 

just my opinion,.   But I’m pretty sure the west is offering half truths ,  their expected arrival and true timeline should theoretically  not be accurate,.  The art and act of “ surprise” should be considered.
