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 have sympathy for the victims of this atrocity. I lived in Moscow, albeit thirty years ago - pre-Putin, thankfully - and a trip to the theatre was often for all the family. Parents and children would attend, as often happened with myself and my wife and daughter. I can't begin to imagine the horror.
Did you set up a thread about the innocent Ukrainian children killed last night in Russias biggest missile attack on the country since the war began?
There's already a Russia thread for acts of war during the Russo-Ukraine war. Nobody really sets up a new thread for each new development. (This was a terrorist attack by neither of the belligerents in that war, ISIS has claimed responsibility reportedly)
Trying to resist the schadenfreude....so hard....
Where is the thread dedicated to the acts of war Russia carry out daily?
What’s your views on Russias illegal invasion and slaughter of innocent civilians?
Sorry just trying to gauge your Russia is a beautiful country comment.
Here you go

The title of that thread is Russia.
Once again here is the thread dedicated specifically to the acts of war carried out by Russia every day?
That's the one. Complain about the title to a mod mayhap.
whatever has happened here exactly we can be sure of one thing; we will never know the real and full truth.
I can only hope this is not an attempt by Putin to escalate the Ukraine conflict or extend it to another territory. Sadly it seems that is exactly what’s at play here with this report of a van with Ukrainian plates being found in the area.
Oh, how convenient.
Away with your lol.
Russia is a beautiful country after everything it has done over the last two years according to you.
Let’s leave it there and draw a line.
ICYMI ISIS took Responsibility but as you say that may not even be the full open and shut story.
I can't follow the madness anymore, the guy complaining about Russian aggression is a lefty? The Americans are terrible for it too, it's not just a one dimensional political space, there is social democrat, socialist, communist, liberal, left wing, conservative, right wing, authoritarian, fascist. All distinct. There's no chance that poster is a "lefty".
Previous terrorist incidents in Moscow, like the bombing of apartment buildings, were the work of Putin and the FSB to encourage support for their firm guidance of the country.
Oh look, Islamic State is claiming responsibility, supposedly.
Well done for speculating too soon.
I had actually! Thanks! I wonder how true it is indeed. Honestly the way it is at the moment if Russia said the sky was blue I’d go outside and check.
No need to check, just assume it's green, red or overcast and you will be on the money.
Just shows how this forum "boards.ie" has turned into with a army of keyboard warriors.
A cesspit of my slurry is better than your slurry, fcking hell the online warriors on this website are completely insane.
Too many ego's on here seeking the highergound on multiple innocent people murdered, no matter the country or nationality.
The people who did this are just as eager to kill Ukrainians as Russian or you.
No they aren't.
I don't think you'd need to go outside at 10:40pm in March to check whether the sky was blue.
I think you missed the point, which is I wouldn’t believe without verifying myself where possible anything Russia said.
I wouldn’t think I’d need to explain that either but there you go.
Thanks. I won't
Good man Donald.
The Islamic State are out for everyone.
Sky News now reporting a second attack is taking place..
