What we know so far about the Russian concert attack
Saturday, 23 March 2024 Vladimir Putin has linked the deadliest attack in Russia for years to Ukraine - despite a branch of Islamic State claiming responsibility.
The director of Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB), Alexander Bortnikov, said on Tuesday that the US, UK and Ukraine were behind the Moscow concert hall attack that killed at least 139 people on Friday - despite repeated claims of responsibility by Islamic State.
In a significant advancement for Russian forces, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the liberation of Shakhtyorskoye and Novoukrainka in the Donetsk region by the elite 40th Separate Guards Marine Brigade. This milestone reflects Russia's aggressive push amid ongoing conflict. From October 26 to November 1, Russian forces launched a series of 44 precision strikes using high-tech weaponry and drones, targeting Ukraine’s power grid, military airfields, and railways supplying Western arms. Concurrently, Russian units report neutralizing over 250 Ukrainian troops and destroying critical artillery and vehicles in response to AFU incursions in Kursk, escalating a volatile regional standoff.

In a devastating escalation of hostilities, a Russian S-400 missile struck a police building in Kharkiv, Ukraine, on Friday, resulting in the tragic death of at least one officer and injuring dozens more. The attack has drawn condemnation and heightened fears of increasing violence in the region.
