Russia says 60 dead, 145 injured in concert hall raid; Islamic State group claims responsibility
Russia’s Federal Security Service says over 30 people were killed and more than 100 were wounded in an attack at a Moscow concert hall.
Assailants burst into a large concert hall in Moscow on Friday and sprayed the crowd with gunfire, killing over 60 people, injuring more than 100 and setting fire to the venue in a brazen attack just days after President Vladimir Putin cemented his grip on power in a highly orchestrated electoral landslide.
The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement posted on affiliated channels on social media. A U.S. intelligence official told The Associated Press that U.S. intelligence agencies had learned the group’s branch in Afghanistan was planning an attack in Moscow and shared the information with Russian officials.
It wasn’t immediately clear what happened to the attackers after the raid, which state investigators were investigating as terrorism.
The attack, which left the concert hall in flames with a collapsing roof, was the deadliest in Russia in years and came as the country’s war in Ukraine dragged into a third year. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin called the raid a “huge tragedy.”

Dude, smoking your own socks isn't good. You should probably stop that
...you could just obsess about your perceived amount of tankies in the fediverse and play helldivers 2 instead?
There are so many tankies in the fediverse, it's gross.
I mainly hear of them, usually from a lemm.ee or .world acct. I don't really see them. Sounds like a non-issue to me, personally.
Gotta check the modlog to see what this says. It would be nice if we could do this right here.
I don't trust the mods. They'll censor something just because it's downvoted and make up bullshit to tie it to a rule.
Here's the original comment: "Didn't Russia just invite Hamas, PIJ, and Hezbollah to meet at the Kremlin for a roundtable about Israel? lol hahahahahahahaha, I guess some of the Islamic terrorists stuck around to take in the sights, eh I guess when Russia seeks to defend itself all the Tankies in the Fediverse will be asking it to please Oh won't anyone think of the poor ISIS hospitals, schools and mosques, won't anyone think of the ISIS babieeeeeeeeeeeeessssss!!!!!!!"
While I don't like the tone, I see it all the time (mostly criticizing anti-trans or pro-gun people.)
This leads me to believe the mods just didn't like what he was saying, so they decided to censor him.
I see it all the time and don't expect more at this point. I will continue to call it out and fight back as long as it keeps happening.
I'd say arguing in favor of murdering children is cause for removal of a post.
