"Russian Concert Hall Attack: Death Toll Reaches 115, Suspects Detained"

Russian authorities detained 11 suspects after a deadly attack at a Moscow concert hall that left at least 115 dead, with four directly involved in the assault. While the Islamic State claimed responsibility, Russian agencies suggested a link to Ukraine. The attack occurred shortly after Putin's electoral victory, and images showed the venue in ruins with emergency vehicles still present. Videos depicted gunmen shooting civilians, and the Islamic State's affiliate in Afghanistan claimed responsibility. U.S. intelligence agencies had warned of a potential attack, and global condemnation and support poured in, with hundreds in Moscow donating blood and plasma.
