Russia’s investigative committee says that last month’s concert hall shooting outside Moscow may have been linked to the country’s “special military operation” in Ukraine, the TASS news agency reported.

The committee says it found photographs of camouflaged fighters with the Ukrainian flag on the mobile phone of one of the suspected shooters, as well as those of a Ukrainian postal stamp, and considered them evidence of a possible link.

Russian President Vladimir Putin launched what he calls his “special military operation” in Ukraine in 2022.
