The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attacks in Moscow, as reported by Reuters.
“Islamic State fighters attacked a large gathering of Christians in the city of Krasnogorsk, on the outskirts of the Russian capital, Moscow, killing and injuring hundreds and causing widespread destruction before safely retreating to their bases,” the Islamic State group said in a statement.
< p>Five Islamists from the region of Ingushetia, on Russia's border with Georgia, are indicated by Moscow's secret services as the possible suspects in the massacre at the conference center.
At least 40 are dead since the terrorist attack, when “bearded” terrorists in military uniforms stormed Crocus City Hall and started shooting indiscriminately.
According to the Russian media, the country's secret services have identified the faces of the five terrorists and made them public.
For three of them, their names were also given.
The perpetrators are still being sought by the Russian armed forces who have surrounded the building, which at the same time is on fire after two explosions.
Russian media claims that the security services are looking for a number of Islamist Ingushetians, including:

– Ozdoev Adam (1987)
– Tsuroev Zelimkhan (2000) pic.twitter.com/1OgyCpffNQ— Visegrád 24 (@visegrad24) March 22, 2024
A white Renault sedan car is being sought by the authorities in Moscow, assuming that it is the vehicle used by the armed attackers in the bloody attack on the “Crocus City Hall”.
The terrorists who caused the carnage with at least 40 dead and 146 injured in the Crocus City Hall allegedly fled in a white Renault, according to the Russian news agency RIA Novosti, which has also released the photo showing a white Renault Symbol with a tinted rear window.
According to Russian media, the particular vehicle was spotted through a video recorded by a car camera passing outside the concert venue where men appear to be coming out holding weapons.
Except the vehicle, the public light also sees another photo showing two people inside a white vehicle believed to be the perpetrators.
The search for the perpetrators continues, while the Islamic State claimed responsibility
Russian authorities have not yet commented on this development. Meanwhile, security has been beefed up in Moscow at key facilities, including airports and train stations.
