A suspect in the Crocus City Hall shooting is escorted by police officers in the Basmanny District Court in Moscow, Russia, on Sunday, March 24, 2024.
MOSCOW — Suspects in the Russia concert hall attack, which left more than 130 dead, arrived at a Moscow district court on Sunday night.
Russian authorities arrested four suspected attackers on Saturday, with seven more detained on suspicion of involvement in the attack, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a nighttime address to the nation, on Saturday. He claimed they were captured while fleeing to Ukraine, something that Kyiv firmly denies.
“It is a tragedy that has affected our entire country," kindergarten employee Marina Korshunova said. “It just doesn’t even make sense that small children were affected by this event.” Three children were among the dead. After Pogadaev saw the reports of gunmen opening fire on concertgoers, he rushed to the site, but couldn’t find her in the numerous ambulances or among the hundreds of people who had made their way out of the venue.
But his wife wasn’t among the 154 reported injured, nor on the list of 50 victims authorities have already identified, he said. Putin didn't mention IS in his speech to the nation, and Kyiv accused him and other Russian politicians of falsely linking Ukraine to the assault to stoke fervor for Russia’s fight in Ukraine, which recently entered its third year.“ISIS bears sole responsibility for this attack. There was no Ukrainian involvement whatsoever,” National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said in a statement.
