00:45Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko reported that 115 individuals have been hospitalised, with 61 in serious condition, following the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall. This statement was made in Krasnogorsk on Saturday.
"Following the terrorist attack, as of today, we hospitalised 115 people, including five children, one child is in serious condition. Of the 110 adults - 60 patients are in serious condition, more than 30 people applied for outpatient care," said the head of the Health Ministry.
Murashko also emphasised that the injured continue to receive medical care.
"At site[Crocus City Hall], while providing medical care, there were more than 50 ambulance crews at the same time. Patients are provided with everything necessary, blood products, medicines. We continue to provide care. Helicopters were involved in the evacuation of patients", said the department's spokesperson.
Late on Friday, unidentified individuals dressed in military fatigues opened fire in the Crocus City Hall, a 6,000-seat multipurpose concert hall where a Russian rock band was set to perform. A massive fire broke out in the building shortly after.
The Ministry of Emergency Situations said that rescuers were still clearing the rubble and the collapsed structures inside the building.
The Russian Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ('Terrorism').
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.
