On the evening of March 22, Moscow experienced one of its deadliest terror attacks in decades when terrorists targeted the Crocus City Hall music venue on the city's outskirts. The tragic incident resulted in the loss of at least 133 lives, with over 100 individuals injured, according to the Investigative Committee of Russia.
Authorities swiftly responded to the chaos, leading to the arrest of 11 suspects, including four gunmen directly involved in the attack. This marks a significant step in the ongoing efforts to dismantle terrorist networks operating within the region.
The gravity of the tragedy was palpable as a CGTN stringer captured heart-wrenching scenes of Russians gathering outside the concert hall. In a poignant display of collective grief, people laid flowers, candles, and toys in memory of the victims, reflecting the nation's sorrow and resilience in the face of such adversity.
