To those tagging me on the Moscow mass shooting that has killed over 40 people, please remember that Russia is involved in two wars at the moment: 1) Ukraine War and 2) Syria War.

According to news outlet 112, the death toll could be as high as 40, with around 100 others wounded, although these numbers are subject to change. Riot police and special services swiftly responded to the incident, while firefighters initially delayed tackling the blaze until the area was secured.
Witnesses described chaotic scenes of people lying on the floor to evade gunfire and attempting to crawl to safety. Some were evacuated from the roof of the burning building. Ambulance crews rushed to the scene to provide medical assistance to the injured.
Both the Moscow Mayor and the governor of the Moscow region expressed condolences to the victims’ families and pledged assistance. The motive behind the attack remains unclear, but it occurred during a concert by the Soviet-era rock band Picnic.
This tragic event comes despite warnings issued by the US and UK embassies two weeks prior, indicating a potential attack on crowded venues by extremists. On March 7, the U.S. Embassy in Russia issued a warning about possible terrorist attacks in Moscow over the following 48 hours.The US embassy had specifically cautioned against attending large gatherings, including concerts, in Moscow. Social media experienced interruptions following the attack, adding to the turmoil of the situation.
