Several assailants burst into a large concert hall on the edge of Moscow and sprayed the crowd with gunfire, killing at least 60 people, injuring more than 100 others and setting fire to the venue in a brazen attack.

It comes just days after Russian President Vladimir Putin cemented his grip on power in a highly orchestrated electoral landslide.

The so-called Islamic State (IS) group claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement posted on affiliated channels on social media, which could not be independently verified.

It was not immediately clear what happened to the attackers after the raid, which Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin described as a “huge tragedy” and state authorities were investigating as terrorism.

The attack, which left the concert hall in flames with a collapsed roof, was the deadliest attack in Russia in years and came as the country’s war in Ukraine dragged into a third year.

The Kremlin said that Mr Putin was informed about the raid minutes after the assailants burst into Crocus City Hall, a large music venue on Moscow’s western edge that can accommodate 6,200 people.

The attack took place as crowds gathered for a performance by the famous Russian rock band Picnic.

As Russia’s Federal Security Service reported 60 dead and more than 100 injured, some Russian news reports suggested that more could have been trapped by the blaze that erupted after the assailants threw explosives.

Health authorities released a list of 145 injured – 115 of them admitted to hospital, including five children.

Video from outside showed the building on fire, with a huge cloud of smoke rising through the night sky.

The street was lit up by the blinking blue lights of dozens of fire engines, ambulances and other emergency vehicles, as several fire helicopters buzzed overhead to dump water on the blaze.

Russian news reports said concertgoers were being evacuated, but that an unknown number could have been trapped by the blaze.

The prosecutor’s office said several men in combat fatigues entered the concert hall and fired on concertgoers.

Repeated volleys of gunfire could be heard in videos posted by Russian media and on Telegram channels.

One showed two men with rifles moving through the venue.

Another showed a man inside the auditorium and saying the assailants had set it on fire, as gunshots rang out incessantly in the background.

Other videos showed up to four attackers, armed with assault rifles and wearing caps, who were shooting screaming people at point-blank range.

Guards at the concert hall did not have guns, and some could have been killed at the start of the attack, Russian media reported.

t was not immediately clear what happened to the assailants, but some Russian news outlets suggested that they fled before special forces and riot police arrived.

Reports said police patrols were looking for several vehicles the attackers could have used to escape.

In a statement posted by its Aamaq news agency, IS said it attacked a large gathering in Krasnogorsk on Moscow’s outskirts, killing and wounding hundreds.

It was not immediately possible to verify the authenticity of the claim.

Earlier this month, Russia’s top security agency said it thwarted an attack on a synagogue in Moscow by a cell of IS.

Russian authorities also said that six alleged IS members were killed in Ingushetia in Russia’s volatile Caucasus region.

It was not clear why the group, which operates mainly in Syria and Iraq but also in Afghanistan and Africa, would stage an attack in Russia at this time.

Over the years, the extremist group recruited fighters from the former Soviet Union who fought for the group in Syria and Iraq and claimed several attacks in the Caucasus and other Russian regions in the past.

As the blaze raged, statements of outrage, shock and support to those affected streamed in from around the world.

Some commentators on Russian social media questioned how authorities, who relentlessly surveil and pressure Kremlin critics, failed to identify the threat and prevent the attack.

Russian authorities said security has been tightened at Moscow’s airports, railway stations and the capital’s sprawling subway system.

Moscow’s mayor cancelled all mass gatherings and theatres and museums shut for the weekend.

Other Russian regions also tightened security.
