The Islamic State in Khorasan Province (ISKP), also known as ISIL's Afghan branch or ISIS-K, has claimed responsibility for the attack on concertgoers at Moscow's Crocus City Hall. United States officials have confirmed the authenticity of this claim, according to Reuters.

Gunmen entered a concert venue near Moscow and opened fire on the crowd, resulting in over 130 deaths, including three children.

The attackers, dressed in combat attire, also threw explosives, causing a large fire at the Crocus City Hall, located 15 miles west of the capital city.

Additionally, at least 145 people were injured during the assault, which occurred shortly before the scheduled performance of the Soviet-era rock group Picnic.
