Al Jazeera
At least 60 people were killed in the attack by a group of masked gunmen who also set off explosives in the venue.
At least 60 people have been killed and 145 injured after gunmen opened fire on concertgoers in Moscow and set off explosives that started a massive blaze in one of the deadliest attacks in Russia in decades.
Russia is investigating who was behind the raid on the Crocus City Hall, which took place just as a capacity crowd was taking its seats for a concert by veteran rock band Picnic.
Hardline group ISIL (ISIS) has claimed responsibility for the attack, which was condemned by leaders from around the world.
Here is what some of them have been saying:
The UN chief “condemns in the strongest possible terms today’s terrorist attack at a concert hall outside Moscow, in which at least 40 people were reportedly killed and over 100 others injured”, spokesman Farhan Haq said in a statement, before authorities announced the death toll had risen.
