Russia on Attack

This attack on Russia is considered the worst terrorist attack that took place on its soil, killing over 143 individuals and wounding over 100. 

As the United States embassy in Russia warned Russian citizens of a preemptive strike, the Russian Foreign Ministry has extended its question for information on the attacks from the US government.

The gunmen who hide their faces with masks, stormed Crocus City Hall carrying incendiary devices and guns with them. As per TimesNow reports, there were a total of five men. 

Russia’s Foreign Ministry called this attack a ‘bloody’ attack. Vladamir Putin, the president who has recently returned to office, has not made any official statement regarding the incident yet.
