Russian intelligence agencies identified and detained 45 people involved in this terrorist attack. On the evening of March 22, 2024, terrorists stormed Crocus City Hall, where a concert was to be held. They opened fire on guests and staff, then set a fire. As a result of the terrorist attack, 144 people were killed and 551 were injured.
