At least 40 people were killed and more than 100 were injured after attackers opened fire at a large concert venue in Moscow late on Friday, and a blaze subsequently took hold of the building.
A group of gunmen dressed in combat gear stormed into a large concert hall at Crocus City Hall on Moscow’s western edge and unleashed automatic gunfire on the audience.
News reports said that the assailants also used explosives, causing a massive blaze at the concert hall.
Video posted on social media showed huge plumes of black smoke rising over the building.
