Terrorist Attack Strikes Moscow Concert Hall

Gunmen dressed in camouflage opened fire at a concert in the Crocus City Hall near Moscow, killing at least 40 people and injuring over 100 in one of the worst attacks on Russia in years. The gunmen's attack caused a large fire at the venue, with reports of a second blast and some of the attackers barricading themselves inside. The shooting occurred days after President Vladimir Putin's re-election and amid Russia's conflict with Ukraine. The Russian Foreign Ministry labeled it a "bloody terrorist attack," while the U.S. embassy had previously warned of imminent extremist plans for an attack in Moscow.
