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 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.
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.
Wouldn't be the first time Putin's staged a false flag operation on his own people.
I can’t think of several, actually, who have surrendered to arrest so don’t fly off with that assumption.
Whole thing stinks of a “special operation” from Putin’s twisted mind.
Bombed a tower block to justify a war

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.
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.
I'd say he'll be Ukrainian no matter where he is from. That's probably already decided.
Absolute scumbag.
Kremlin already pointing at Ukraine's top officials. This is so telegraphed.
Why does he need to do that? What would the Russian people do if he didn't keep up that thin pretense? Revolt? Ha!
The US warned recently of a pending Islamic incident in Moscow.
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.
They said nothing of the origins of any attackers no?
Van with ukrainian plates found outside.
Don't think the Ukrainians would bother with this type of operation.
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.
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.
Today?

Correct, the embassy gave no detail other than "extremists"
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 🥴
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.
I read it today, meant to say, the FSB should have also stated Danzy may read this at a future date.
It has appeared before page 5.
My money is on post #54.
xD
I’m watching France 24. How many buildings are on fire?
Because Ukrainians would use a van with Ukrainian plates to get all the way to moscow and commit an attack..... this is without a doubt a Putin false flag to regain the russian publics support OR legitimise some horrific atrocity hes planning for Ukraine.
The fact they are surrendering is highly suspicious too
Failed tweet, deleted
lol fair enough
congrats
If they do turn out to be from the ukraine - will western leaders change their tune?
"Israel Russia has a right to defend itself".
