A trial commenced in Moscow for 19 individuals accused in last year's Crocus City Hall concert attack, which claimed 149 lives and injured over 600. Four Tajikistani gunmen, who were arrested after the March 2024 massacre, are among the defendants. Russia alleges Ukrainian involvement, a claim Ukraine vehemently denies. The Investigative Committee asserts the attack aimed to destabilize Russia, citing the gunmen's attempted escape to Ukraine. Six others face charges in absentia for alleged recruitment and training.
