More than 100 people are still missing after last week’s attack on the Crocus City concert venue near Moscow, when gunmen opened fire with automatic weapons on concertgoers, with Russian investigators saying they have received 143 reports from relatives of people missing. .

The Commission of Inquiry says in a statement it issued that 84 bodies have been identified so far, including those of five children between the ages of 9 and 16. He points out that tests are being conducted to determine the identities of the remaining victims.

The official toll from the attack is now rising in 140 dead and 182 injured.

In the meantime, the number of missing persons is increasing following the reports of relatives who declare people as missing.

“These lists include people whose relatives could not be contacted after the terrorist attack, but are not included in the lists of the injured and the dead,” BAZA reports. “Some of these people are dead, but they have not yet been identified.”

It is recalled that the attack began shortly before the start of the concert of the Soviet-era rock group “Picnic”, which was scheduled in a packed hall of 6,200 people.

More than 200 people could have been in the burning building moments before the roof collapsed, Baza said on Saturday, citing emergency service sources who reviewed surveillance footage.

Russian social media channels have been flooded with appeals for help in finding the victims.
In a Telegram chat called “Crocus. Help Centre”, friends and relatives shared the names of the missing people who attended the concert.
