The Guardian is reporting this evening that three men wearing camouflaged outfits administered open gunfire among people at a Concert Hall in Moscow.
There's are reports of an explosion carried at the venue as well. I don't know how heavy the explosion at the moment. But reports suggests it could be a very serious one.
No reports of any injuries so far.

I’m watching France 24. How many buildings are on fire?
My money is on post #54.
xD
It has appeared before page 5.
I read it today, meant to say, the FSB should have also stated Danzy may read this at a future date.
No, they wouldn't, the challenge for Ukraine is having enough ammunition to shoot Russians in Ukraine, it doesn't have to drive to do it.
Are you that naive?! Nothing will be revealed, we’ll get some pre-rehearsed spiel about Ukraine or ‘the west’ being behind it and mother Russia has to defend herself with some horrible atrocities.
Apparently they have found a “suspicious van” with Ukrainian plates…how convenient. First rule of committing a terrorist attack…make sure you have an easily identifiable vehicle that stands out from all others 🥴
Today?

Correct, the embassy gave no detail other than "extremists"
Something to do with a constitution oddly enough. Even though Putin can do what he likes, he still feels the need to stay somewhat within the law. All a sham of course.
In terms of revolt no. As long as the average Russian has a reasonably comfortable life, little chance.
Maybe they did in private, the FSB foiled an Islamic State attack against a Synagogue today, this may well be another prong of that attack.
Van with ukrainian plates found outside.
Don't think the Ukrainians would bother with this type of operation.
They said nothing of the origins of any attackers no?
Very easy, if you think about it.
Something is being planned in a city of 10 million, by person's unknown at an unknown upcoming date.
The US warned recently of a pending Islamic incident in Moscow.
Why does he need to do that? What would the Russian people do if he didn't keep up that thin pretense? Revolt? Ha!
Kremlin already pointing at Ukraine's top officials. This is so telegraphed.
Absolute scumbag.
I'd say he'll be Ukrainian no matter where he is from. That's probably already decided.
All Russians are expendable, Putin only needs enough people to turn up at polling stations to make it look like there's democracy going on.
Apparently they've caught one of the gunmen alive. Hopefully he'll be tortured to within an inch of his life.
All will be revealed over the weekend.
Bombed a tower block to justify a war

Whole thing stinks of a “special operation” from Putin’s twisted mind.
I can’t think of several, actually, who have surrendered to arrest so don’t fly off with that assumption.
Wouldn't be the first time Putin's staged a false flag operation on his own people.
Although if the police in Moscow found out that these gunmen were not Ukrainian through their I.D. etc. How will Russia cope if Ukraine are not the enemy in carrying out this terror attack on these innocent civilians being killed in Moscow. If Russian police forces eventually find out that these gunmen carrying this attack were not from Ukraine; it's aftermath would be regarded as a much bigger shock among people who work for Putin in the Kremlin and the rest of the civilians who live around Russia. As the news unfolds over the next few hours; it would be regarded as a huge story now if Ukraine wasn't involved in this attack at all. Although the levels of shock and distress would be of equal measure if the terrorists were from alleged main instigators such as Ukraine.
I assume that if the US had some fore knowledge of an attack being prepared in Russia, they must had some idea of exactly who was planning to perpetrate it?
This kind of thing, it doesn't seem like Ukraine would have much to do with it directly. The Ukrainian government would know exactly what Putin's reaction would be to try and whip up jingoist fervour, which would just mean more mobilisation. Not exactly something Ukraine would want, surely.
I immediately thought of the 1999 Moscow apartment bombings which were blamed on Chechen rebels
Russia’s foreign ministry spokesperson, Maria Zakharova, has called on the international community to condemn the “monstrous crime” following the gun attacks at a concert hall near Moscow, Reuters reports.
Very, very suss. How is it the yanks announced last week that this might happen but the KGBand Russian police weren’t able to prevent it? One would almost think they wanted it to happen…
concerts are a popular isis target - could be islamic seperatists using ukraine to restart their independence claims
Some video now online of one of the shooters being arrested at the scene. Islamic terrorists don't tend to surrender for questioning.
