Damn. I mean eff Russia. But I don’t want a bunch of families at a concert getting shot up. I’m sure we’ll now have to sift through false flag issues too.
Hopes for the innocent victims.
5 well-armed shooters with backpacks seen on numerous videos routinely shooting people. At least 35 dead, dozens injured. A hundred trapped in building fire. Search крокус стрельба for videos from inside.
Moscow citizen here. Telegram is almost down. Internet turned in low speed shit. Heavy panic. I understand that many of you guy’s don’t like us, but ffs I have my colleague with her family in this place. Hope they are ok. Damn anybody who is in charge of this attack. Putin or Kadyrov or RDK doesn’t make difference for me. Sorry for being emotional.
False flag, typical KGB tactic used multiple times by putin. I don’t even have to guess: those terrorists will turn out to be Ukrainian, with passports on them and maybe some swastikas or whatever. Putin is preparing the next huge mobilisation.
Edit:
Guys, chill. I am not a political expert. Just a fellow redditor. Even if it turns out I am wrong – it’s not some random shit I said out of nowhere. I could easily be right in like 80% of cases like this.
Who’s Putin going to blame for his attack?
Russia to blame Ukraine in 3..2..1
is this what US was warning about a few weekss ago?
Why would U.S warn russia beforehand if it was a false flag?
Edit: I’m not saying that U.S should allow civilians to die in other countries. I’m pointing out if the U.S can gain intelligence about a false flag happening.
Everyone here thinks this may be a false flag attack, and I don’t blame them because Putin is known for that, but this time it seems like it could be Islamic fundamentalists. As the article points out, Russia has been fighting Islamic terrorists in Ingushetia recently, so that could be the motive for the terror attack. Yes, I get that Putin is known for false flags, but Islamic terrorism in Russia is not unprecedented. It happens. Let’s wait to see what happens before making any conclusions. If Putin blames Ukraine, we know it’s a false flag. If he blames Islamic fundamentalists, it’s most likely a real terrorist attack.
Russian media is reporting that the shooters managed to escape the scene.
Dubrovka Theater pt 2
The concert hall holds 6200 and was sold out tonight. These casualty numbers are going to be extremely high.
[removed]
At least 40 dead
Fuck man. Sounds like the Bataclan incident we had here in France. Scary shit.
regardless of who did this, Putin’s going to spin it to be Ukrainians. Buckle up, people…
Some other people are claiming that this was done by a militant Islamic terrorist org. Whether or not that is true, I doubt it will matter. If Putin can pin this on Ukraine, he has essentially been given a green light to mobilize the entire country. These next few weeks seem very dangerous.
This was mostly likely an Islamist attack. Russia is currently involved in low intensity conflicts in the Caucuse. Reminds of me of Chechen hostage events.
Remember that time Russia ended a terrorist attack by just killing all the hostages?
Guys we don’t know who’s responsible yet and making up assumptions from Putin to Ukraine to Islamist extremists is not helpful.
Right now we should sympathize with the victims, hope the wounded survive and wait for answers
Humans are wild.
Bloody hell, I wonder who it was?
No seriously. Who was it? Russia seems to have lots of enemies nowadays.
35 dead is absolutely low-balling it. No way that’s the number. That place can hold thousands and a fire on top is going to kill way more. Bataclan in the Paris attacks had what like 90 dead?
Terrible attack in Russia today. A lot is still unknown. Seems like a very complex scenario for the police units.
Also worried for the wider implications of this attack. Who is responsible, but more importantly, who will be blamed? Can that have consequences on other things and destabilize the geopolitical situation further?

Immediately thought of this attack:

(And I can’t believe it was almost 22 years ago)

Very worrying in my opinion.
