On the afternoon of March 22, a terrorist attack occurred at the Crocus Town Hall, near Moscow. Several armed men dressed in camouflage entered the building and opened fire on visitors to the business center and concert hall. A fire subsequently broke out in the building and on the morning of March 23, part of the structure was completely burned.
According to emergency services, clearing the debris will take at least several days.
