Russia aftermath result of coward Terrorist attack on citizens

March 22, 2024 will forever be remembered as one of the darkest days in modern Russian history. A group of camouflaged men wielding firearms and explosives stormed the Crocus City Concert Hall in Moscow’s suburbs.

On March 22, a group of armed terrorists murdered over 100 innocent civilians in cold blood at the Crocus City Hall concert venue in Moscow, in what became one of the deadliest acts of terror to occur in the Russian capital.

One of the concert-goers was Nikolay Krutov. He recalled the details of this tragedy in an interview with Sputnik. Everything started around 7:55 p.m. (local time) when the show was yet to begin and the venue was about two-thirds full, with many members of the audience in no rush to take their seats.

When all of a sudden people heard loud popping sounds – like the sound of firecrackers going off far away, like the firecrackers people light on New Year’s Eve – they weren’t alarmed at first, recalling how he thought at the time that it was all part of the concert preparations.

Soon, however, it became clear that these sounds were gunshots. Krutov, who was on the balcony together with his wife and sister-in-law, took cover while people below scrambled for the emergency exits.

The terrorists burst inside the venue through a first-floor door and immediately started shooting people down with automatic machine guns.

Krutov saw three men dressed in light camouflage uniforms – kinda yellow, the color of sand. They burst in and started shooting people right away, without warning, without firing into the air or shouting slogans first.

No, they were just deliberately shooting people point-blank. And they were throwing some kind of incendiary pellets or grenades around because the seats on the first floor immediately caught fire.

He also mentioned that the venue’s security staff did not desert their posts when the shooting started – they opened the emergency exits and helped direct the fleeing bystanders to safety.

A total of eleven suspects, including the four suspected gunmen, have been detained by Russian authorities in the aftermath of the attack. The four who reportedly carried out the shooting were caught while trying to flee towards the border with Ukraine.

Emergency services personnel have since moved to sift through the rubble at the Crocus City Hall building, which was devastated by the fire, looking for victims’ bodies.

As Russian President Vladimir Putin stated in his address to the nation, a window was prepared from the Ukrainian side for the terrorists to cross the border.

Putin declared March 24 a national day of mourning and stressed that Russia would bring to justice both the perpetrators and the masterminds behind the crime.

World leaders and the entire international community offered their condolences to the Russian people, with vigils held across Russia and internationally.
