Recall that the terrorist attack on Crocus Town Hall occurred on Friday night during a concert by the group Picnic: several attackers shot at visitors with automatic weapons. In total, according to preliminary data from the Russian Investigative Committee, at least 137 people died in the tragedy.
The FSB said the attack was carefully planned and the weapons were hidden in a cache. The suspects were detained while trying to cross the border and hide in Ukraine.
