At least 60 people were killed and more than 100 injured on Friday when gunmen dressed in camouflage opened fire with automatic weapons at people at a concert in the Crocus City Hall near Moscow.

The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for an attack in Moscow in a statement posted on social media.

Its Aamaq news agency said the group attacked a large gathering of Christians in the city of Krasnogorsk on the outskirts of the Russian capital of Moscow, killing and wounding hundreds.

It was not immediately possible to verify the authenticity of the claim.
