Searches continue as 95 are still missing after the Moscow concert attack.
Following last week’s horrific shooting at a Moscow music venue that killed 140, authorities have confirmed 95 people remain missing in the aftermath of the deadly attack.
Gunmen had opened fire on the packed crowd at Crocus City Hall with Kalashnikovs before setting the building ablaze as the Soviet rock band ‘Picnic’ was set to perform.
While the official death toll stands at 140, along with 182 injured, independent news portal Baza says 95 more names have been submitted to emergency services by worried families unable to contact their loved ones since the incident.
As per Baza, these lists include individuals who may have perished in the attack but remain unidentified so far.
Surveillance footage reviewed by emergency responders indicates over 200 people could have been trapped inside the burning structure moments before the roof collapsed, reports suggest.
Russian investigators maintain four shooters carried out the coordinated assault. As grieving kin share photos of the missing on social media in desperation, searches to locate the 95 missing individuals and bring closure to their families continue amid the tragedy.
The attack has left the nation in mourning while questions around motivating factors and security practices remain. All hope rescue teams can aid closure for the many affected in the coming days.
