Attack near Moscow: death toll rises to 143. 80 injured people, including six children, were still hospitalized at midday.
On Friday, armed individuals opened fire in a concert hall near Moscow, the Crocus City Hall, before setting it on fire. This is the deadliest attack in Russia in twenty years. The attack was quickly claimed by the Islamic State group, but Russian authorities persist in establishing a link with Ukraine and its Western allies, without presenting evidence. The border between these two countries, which have been fighting each other militarily for two years, is very difficult to cross.
