MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The FSB said on Friday night that the shooting and fire occurred before a concert at the Crocus City Hall in Krasnogorsk, near Moscow.
The chairman of the Russian lower house's defense committee, Andrey Kartapolov, on Saturday called Ukraine and its allies the most interested parties in the terrorist attack on the Crocus City Hall concert venue near Moscow.
"Naturally, the most interested party could be Ukraine and its supervisors. … If it [Ukraine's involvement] is confirmed, I would not be surprised at all. But now the most important part is to give them [perpetrators] a decent, concrete and understandable response, not theoretical, but on the battlefield," Kartapolov told Sputnik.
A shooting occurred on Friday evening in the Crocus City Hall concert venue in the city of Krasnogorsk, outside Moscow, followed by a massive fire. A Sputnik correspondent who witnessed the attack reported that at least three men in camouflage had broken into the music hall, shooting people point-blank and throwing incendiary bombs. According to the latest data from the Russian Investigative Committee, at least 115 people died in the terrorist attack and many others were injured.
