RIA news agency said at least three people in camouflage clothing had opened fire at the Crocus City Hall, and that some people had been wounded.

Police had arrived at the scene, RIA said.

Video footage published on Russian social media channels showed chaotic scenes, with a large crowd of concertgoers attempting to flee the hall, followed by gunshots.

Other video footage showed a number of people lying motionless in pools of blood outside the hall

Reuters was unable immediately to verify the footage.

TASS news agency reported an explosion and a fire in the building where the shooting took place.

The Kommersant newspaper posted footage online showing smoke billowing from what it said was the concert venue building.

supposedly the US had some sort of knowledge of this attack before it happened (which means the russians did too) (L | A)
I have a strong feeling (if related) this will be some sort of turning point for the war in Ukraine. Interested to see what happens.
Remember to WAIT before jumping to any conclusions.

Its likely Jihadists.

While the US gives the Ukranians something of a loose leash, the fact that the US was advertising that they knew of the attack weeks in advance, if this is Ukranians, is akin to the US basically saying that they planned and approve of the attack.

The only way the US would publish this is if they know it wont blow back to them in any way, otherwise theres too many questions- so honestly, Im guessing its actually jihadists.

When it usually involved Ukrainians, the US doesnt issue these threats, lest it seem as if its a US planned thing.

"turning point in the war" russia has had a thousand and one chances to pull a glorious victory out the hat over the last two years and has declared its "getting serious" so many times it was a stale meme by late 2022. Theres not going to be any magical superweapons or legions of trad-orthodox supersoldiers being spawned into reality by a terrorist attack despite what Modern Warfare 2 may have led folks to believe.
Im saying it could be a justification to start using "Tactical Nuclear Missiles" or some other, bullshit.
You think they'd consider using chemical weapons?
 
No, they're on Russia's side. There were even rumors of Ukies and the Azov Battalion putting pig blood and guts on their bullets.
Theoretically on Russia's side, more social media posts than actual fighting in 2022, and I've not heard much from them since.

but what beef do jihadists currently have with russia?
the last time russia clashed with militant muslims was when russian forces in syria destroyed ISIS, and it has been many years since then.
and russia isn't really the biggest israel supporter either, any muslim who is mad about the gaza war going on at the moment is mostly mad at jews and americans, not at russia.
 
What reason would they have to get uppity all of a sudden? Are they that dissatisfied with Putin? (Other than Muzzies muzzing).
Could be plain ole opportunism and taking advantage of the fact russia's fighting capabilities are tied up in the trenches, as well as the fact that military shit is likely a whole lot easier to come by now

Also some of the russia shill accounts I keep an eye on are now declaring it to be the Kebabs, obviously on the orders of the juden infested west or whatever the narrative is these days
 
short footage from inside the Hall


footage of people fleeing


First responders




Special forces

We seem to have captured every unique video from this event. After sitting through all of that and seeing all the lovely Americans cheering on the mass slaughter of people who have no power or sway of Putin I now hope all of their children get drafted and are at best killed or worst mutilated in a war their parents all so badly wanted.
 
TL;DR: it's shit ammo.
It's possible it's some surplus of both old 7.62x39mm ammo and old AKM rifles. 7.62x39mm was something made by the very end of WW2, and in the 70's the USSR gradually replaced it with 5.45x39mm, which would lean into the theory of this being some sort of Islamist terrorist group, since if this was a gayop they'd probably get some proper shit.
 
but what beef do jihadists currently have with russia?
Well...between the shit they did and still do in Syria, the shit they did in Chechnya, and lingering enmity from Afghanistan I would say enough beef to make a thousand pajeets burst into tears at the very least

And remember how much russia has been bragging about its glorious Chechnyan shock troops since the first week of the war....maybe it was not the best of ideas giving them guns and combat experience.

Could be an extreme cell that just wants to kill all infidels.
And because of the current geopolitical situation, there is no shortage of secret services that would gladly support them.

Of course the NAFO ghouls would cheer this on. Then again, they also love mass shootings in the US, since dead kids drum up support for gun control.
