The Russian Telegram channel Baza reports that it has allegedly identified four individuals who opened fire in the Crocus City Hall shopping center in Krasnogorsk, Moscow region.

According to the channel, all four are citizens of Tajikistan: Mahmadrasul Nasridinov, Rivodzhiddin Islomov, Shohinjonn Safolzoda, and Rustam Nazarov.

They were registered in the Yaroslavl, Ivanovo, and Samara regions. It is noted that alerts have been sent to all police departments, indicating that the likely “criminals” may be armed and possess explosives. Additionally, it is reported that two suspects in the shooting have already been detained in the Bryansk region.

However, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tajikistan stated that three citizens of Tajikistan have no connection to the terrorist act, meaning three from Baza’s list: Islomov Rivodzhiddin born on 25.09.1972, Nasridinov Mahmadrasul born on 20.11.1986, and Nazarov Rustam born on 02.01.1995 are not involved in the crime. The fate of the fourth individual remains unknown.

We remind you that on the evening of March 22, several individuals in camouflage opened fire with automatic weapons at people attending a concert by the band Piknik at the Crocus City Hall concert hall in Krasnogorsk, Moscow region. According to eyewitnesses, the shooters also threw Molotov cocktails, which caused a fire in the venue. According to media reports, up to 7,200 people may have been in the building. Approximately 137 people died, including children; 62 bodies have already been identified.

However, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Andrey Yusov, placed the responsibility for the shooting in the Crocus City Hall concert hall in Krasnogorsk on the Kremlin’s special services.

Earlier, on March 8, the U.S. embassy warned its citizens in Russia about the threat of a terrorist attack in Moscow. American diplomats stated that an attack could occur in places with large crowds, such as at a concert.
