The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) observed a 'moment of silence' on Monday to mourn the victims of the deadly terror attack on Moscow’s Crocus City Hall.
Footage shows representatives of the 15-nation council standing with their heads bowed to pay their respects ahead of a session on the Israel-Hamas war.
After the moment of silence, United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield expressed her 'deepest condolences' to the families and loved ones of the victims.
“We condemn terrorism in all its forms and stand in solidarity with the Russian people in grieving the loss of life from this horrific event," she said.
Late on Friday, unidentified individuals reportedly dressed in military fatigues opened fire at Crocus City Hall, a 6,000-seat multipurpose concert hall venue where a Russian rock band was set to perform. A massive fire broke out in the building shortly after.
At time of publication, 137 people were reported to have been killed. Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a day of mourning and described it as a 'barbaric terrorist act' in a televised address on Saturday, adding that all four suspected perpetrators had been found and detained.
“They tried to hide and moved towards Ukraine, where, according to preliminary data, a window was prepared for them from the Ukrainian side to cross the state border,” Putin claimed.
Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) reported that the suspects had planned to cross the Russian-Ukrainian border and 'had relevant contacts on the Ukrainian side'.
The Russian Investigative Committee said that special services had detained four suspects in the Bryansk region, not far from the border with Ukraine.
On Friday, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said it 'categorically denies' all accusations of any involvement in the shooting.
The US and other Western countries attributed the attack to Afghan-based Islamic State affiliate 'ISIS-Khorasan' ('Isis-K'), citing an online channel they said was associated with the group.
The UN press service reported on Friday that Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the attack on the concert hall 'in the strongest possible terms'.
“The Secretary-General expresses his deepest condolences to the families of the victims, the people and the government of the Russian Federation,” the statement added.
A number of foreign countries, including the United States, Belarus and Turkey, expressed condolences in connection with the shooting in the Moscow region.
