Russia launched a terrorism investigation after gunmen attacked synagogues and Orthodox churches in the cities of Derbent and Makhachkala on Sunday.
Gunmen opened fire on two synagogues, two Orthodox churches and a police post in Russia's North Caucasus region of Dagestan on Sunday. The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation opened a terrorism investigation in response to the 'armed attacks in Derbent and Makhachkala, as a result of which police officers and civilians were killed and injured,' according to the agency’s Telegram page.
Emhoff, the first Jewish spouse of an American president or vice president, said his purpose on Sunday was to 'send a message to the Jewish community of Pittsburgh, to the country, and to the world, that we must never forget what the poison of antisemitism can do.' This is a developing story. Please check back for updates. Reuters and the Associated Press contributed to this report.
