**Moscow, Russia**
145 people injured in Crocus City Hall terrorist attack, according to list published by Moscow Region’s Health Ministry..
Unidentified gunmen armed with assault rifles went on a shooting spree, witnesses said. An explosion rocked the building, starting a fire.
The attack comes just days after a similar attack in St. Petersburg that killed 15 people.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice.
**The attack**
The attack began at around 8:00 p.m. local time when the gunmen opened fire on a crowd of people outside the concert hall.
Witnesses said the gunmen were wearing black and had masks covering their faces. They fired indiscriminately at the crowd, killing and wounding dozens of people.
The gunmen then stormed the concert hall, where they continued to fire their weapons.
**The response**
Russian security forces responded to the attack within minutes. They surrounded the concert hall and engaged the gunmen in a gun battle.
The gun battle lasted for several hours before the gunmen were all killed.
**The aftermath**
The attack has left Russia in shock. It is the deadliest terrorist attack in the country since the 2004 Beslan school siege, which killed 330 people, including 186 children.
The attack has also raised concerns about security in Russia ahead of the 2018 World Cup.
**The investigation**
Russian authorities are investigating the attack. They have not yet released any information about the identity of the gunmen or their motives.
However, some experts believe the attack may have been carried out by the Islamic State group.
The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for a number of terrorist attacks in Russia in recent years, including the St. Petersburg attack.
**The impact**
The attack has had a devastating impact on the families of the victims.
Many of the victims were young people who were attending a concert.
The attack has also had a negative impact on the Russian economy.
The Russian stock market fell sharply on Monday following the attack.
The attack is likely to further damage Russia's reputation as a safe place to visit.
**The future**
It is too early to say what the long-term impact of the attack will be.
However, it is clear that the attack has shaken Russia to its core.
The attack is a reminder of the threat of terrorism that faces Russia and the world.
**The response from the international community**
The international community has condemned the attack.
In a statement, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he was "outraged" by the attack.
"This attack is a reminder of the need for all of us to work together to combat terrorism and to promote peace and security," Guterres said.
The United States, the European Union, and other countries have also condemned the attack.
They have offered their condolences to the families of the victims and pledged to support Russia in its investigation of the attack.
