The Russian embassy in India has opened an online book of condolence for people who wish to offer condolences to the families of the victims. The online book would enable people to post healing messages or express support and sympathy for the kin of the dead in the comment section. Death toll from the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall has climbed to 133. Quoting Russian Investigative Committee, state media TASS reported that a search operation was underway and rubble was being removed from the concert hall. According to the Russian Health Ministry, 147 people were injured. Russia said it has arrested 11 people today along with the four gunmen.

The attack on the Crocus City Hall was claimed by Islamic State affiliate Islamic State – Khorasan Province (ISIS-K) but Russian security service has claimed that the attackers had links to Ukraine and were leaving for the neighbouring country. Ukraine said allegations of Ukrainian involvement are absurd. Meanwhile, US said that the claim by ISIS-K is credible and believes that Ukraine was not responsible for the attacks.
