Russians lay flowers and light candles outside Crocus concert hall as senior minister says UK has little confidence in Russia’s statements on the attack
Russia is observing a nationwide day of mourning for the worst terror attack on the country’s soil in two decades, as the official number of those left injured rose to 154. Russian authorities have said they expect the death toll to rise with at least one dozen victims still in critical condition.
Hundreds of people brought flowers and other tributes to the Crocus City Hall in Krasnogorsk, outside Moscow, as local emergency workers say they are still continuing to search for anyone who may be left wounded or dead inside the severely damaged entertainment complex. The UK’s chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, condemned the Kremlin after it appeared to seek to link Ukraine to the attack, which the Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for.
