The journalist from RIA Novosti was cited as saying, “People who were in the hall were led on the ground to protect themselves from the shooting for 15 or 20 minutes.”
Previous attacks in Moscow
Previous attacks in Moscow and other Russian cities have varied in nature, ranging from Islamist group assaults to incidents lacking clear political motives. Just this month, the US embassy in Russia issued a warning regarding extremist plans to target large gatherings, including concerts, in Moscow. (A horrific terrorist attack has occurred in Moscow)
Reflecting on history, the infamous 2002 Moscow theatre hostage crisis, orchestrated by Chechen separatists, resulted in the tragic loss of 130 lives primarily due to suffocation caused by security forces’ intervention gas.
Moreover, Russia’s military intervention in Ukraine since February 2022 has fueled tensions along the border, leading to attacks by anti-Kremlin forces. These events highlight the ongoing threat of terrorism and regional conflicts, necessitating heightened security measures and sustained vigilance to safeguard civilian lives and maintain stability in the region.
