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.

It's a very different situation
Who are you calling an "absolute scumbag" - the terrorist who killed innocent civilians or me?
How so?
Source? I've seen the US Embassy security alert in Russia from 2 weeks ago but haven't seen "islamic" mentioned anywhere
If they stop invading Ukraine, we can promise to stop applying mean nicknames to the Russians. Helluva deal.
What a horrible thing to say.
I would be more inclined to believe Bart Simpson than anything from a Comical Igor spokesperson.
oh russia are "defending" themselves alright
There's a serious bang of tankie off your posts
We're constantly told by western leaders that Israel is defending themselves whilst killing 200+ civilians a day in Gaza - over 12,000 children have already been slaughtered in "acts of self defense" by the zionist regime.
You know what makes me really sad? I've read a few threads like this and very few actually care about the innocent victims in an attack like this. It's all about people's political point of view. It's the same in other threads like the Palestinian one. Some people just care about scoring points for their 'side'.
If it involved Irish people I'd understand but it doesn't. Is there no empathy for the pain and suffering ongoing? Ordinary people just want to get on with their lives. The majority of Russians and Ukrainians want the war to end.
TURNS OUT THIS IS FALSE INFO - " Natives of Ingushetia have been put on wanted list for the event in Moscow earlier"
Tankie, ivan, russian bot, blah blah blah.
Have you mean names for the Israelis?
While I still wouldn't put anything past Putin the US embassy in Russia as well as several others gave a warning 2 weeks ago.
Putin seems to have ignored it.
As if a van with Ukrainian plates would make it anywhere near Moscow, without drawing attention to itself, being stopped or being attacked.
Absolute disgusting comment, the blood is still warm on the pavement and shopping mall tiles from the innocent victims, women and children included and you somehow muster up the above filth to somehow get a dig at the Russian state.
Did you say the same about the victims of 9/11 and 7/7 also?
Sorry of course the terrorist. Apologies if i worded it poorly
Difficult for people to have any sympathy for the Russian people at the moment.
Ordinary decent people will always have sympathy for innocent men, women & children being gunned down by terrorists at a concert.
The people who don't, are disgusting excuses for human beings.
Admit, I would not be massively shocked if you (or few others I can think of) had ever said (at some point) the US/UK brought terrorist attacks on themselves...
You know the story, while all horrible events and no civilians should die, it was blow-back from their govt's misdeeds in the ME and history of colonialism etc. etc. All the usual sneaking justifications for it. Did you ever say anything like that in your cups? 😃
I would be pretty sure Ukraine has nothing to do with it, though the level of hatred Russia must be piling up next door could be a scary thing in future. Depending how events pan out, it may fester and last generations at this stage.
Well that says alot for them people.
What Russia forum is this?
I have the same name for the IDF killing Palestinian civilians as I do for Hamas killing innocent Israelis.
C***s.
WDYM them people
Islamic State have claimed responsibility, on their telegram group according to The Guardian.
No it's not. I've sympathy for them.
I have lots of sympathy for any populace/ country that's controlled by oppression/ a psychopathic dictator.
Putin is the problem, not the innocent people of Russia. Wished they'd have gone after him, not the innocent.
BBC saying the attackers have not been captured yet
Not just Putin but all his henchmen.
Horrible to see people saying they have no sympathy for ordinary Russian folk who are no more responsible for what's happening in Ukraine than the average American or Brit was for what occured in Iraq.
R.I.P to all the victims.
