200 Gather At Moscow Attack Site To Offer Condolences

People hold a vigil to honour victims of the Crocus City Hall attack in Moscow Region

Four days after the tragic Moscow terror attack that occurred on Friday, a gathering of around 200 individuals took place at the site of the incident on Monday morning. The attendees came together to offer their condolences to the victims of the heinous act.

Although the crowd was smaller compared to the previous day's gathering at Crocus City hall, a continuous stream of people arrived at the scene, bringing flowers and stuffed toys as tokens of remembrance. Candles were also placed at the memorial site, creating a somber atmosphere.

Notably, a Russian Red Cross tent has been established at the location to provide essential psychological support to those affected by the tragedy. Volunteers are actively assisting individuals in locating their belongings or vehicles that were left behind during the chaos of the attack.

Meanwhile, the main entrance of the Crocus hall remains cordoned off, with law enforcement and emergency services personnel working diligently to clear debris from the area. Search operations are still ongoing as authorities strive to ensure the safety and security of the premises.

The Moscow Department of Health released an updated list of individuals who are currently hospitalized in the city's medical facilities following the attack. The list comprises 76 names, indicating the severity of the injuries sustained by the victims.

Tragically, the attack resulted in the loss of at least 137 lives, with gunmen indiscriminately opening fire on individuals inside the hall and setting the building ablaze. Among the deceased, three were children, underscoring the devastating impact of the senseless violence.

In response to the tragedy, President Vladimir Putin declared Sunday as a national day of mourning, emphasizing the nation's solidarity in condemning such acts of terror. He pledged to bring the perpetrators to justice and extended heartfelt condolences to all those who have lost loved ones in this horrific event.
