The Crocus City Hall in Krasnogorsk was invaded by armed individuals, resulting in the death of at least 40 individuals and causing over 100 injuries. The incident occurred right before a sold-out rock show. According to the media, a terrorist organization has taken credit for the assault and the perpetrators have not yet been captured by authorities.

The Deputy Spokesperson, Farhan Haq, stated that the Secretary-General expresses his sincere sympathies to the grieving families, as well as the people and government of Russia. He also hopes for a swift recovery for those who were injured.

The Security Council condemns the deplorable act of terrorism.

The press statement released on Friday evening by the Security Council denounced the “despicable and gutless act of terrorism.”
