Russian Emergencies Ministry (EMERCOM) workers were seen clearing rubble at the Crocus City Hall concert venue on Monday, as the ministry reported that '90 percent' of the debris from the mass shooting and fire on Friday had been removed.
The ministry's press service added that more than 150 specialists, including dog handlers, and 30 units of equipment were involved in the work.
Earlier in the day, the governor of the Moscow region said that the search operation at the site of the tragedy had been extended until 17:00 Moscow time (14:00 GMT) on Tuesday.
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.
According to the Russian Investigative Committee, the attack left 137 people dead, with over 180 injured at the time of publication. In turn, the Ministry of Health reported that as of Sunday, 110 were being treated in hospitals, and 32 had been released. The Russian Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ('Terrorism').
Basmanny Court of Moscow remanded a number of suspects in custody until May 22. Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a day of mourning and described the attack as a 'barbaric terrorist act' in a televised address on Saturday, adding that four perpetrators of the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall 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 said.
Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) claims the attackers planned to cross the Russian-Ukrainian border and 'had relevant contacts on the Ukrainian side'.
In turn, 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' accusations of Kiev’s 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.
