The Islamic State terror group claims responsibility for a deadly gun attack on a Moscow concert hall, which Russian authorities said killed at least 40 people.
IS fighters “attacked a large gathering… on the outskirts of the Russian capital Moscow,” the group says in a statement on the Telegram messaging app.
Children were among those killed, Russian media outlet Fontanka reports, citing Nina Ostanina, a lawmaker in the State Duma, the lower house of parliament.
