Latest Russia-Ukraine report: ‘It is extremely credible’ that Islamic State carried out a terrorist attack, Moscow says

A Russian strike hit a residential area in the city of Kharkiv, the mayor said.

One user was killed and six were wounded, Ihor Terekhov wrote on Telegram.

Two of the injured are in good condition.

In an earlier Telegram article, Terekhov said: “A blow to Kharkiv’s residential micro-district in apartment buildings. There are wounded. “

He said five-story residential buildings suffered “severe damage” and a medical center was hit.

It is still known what weapons were used in the attack.

A British general has warned that the British army will only be there to fight Russia for a few months because “we don’t have the stockpiles of ammunition or equipment to do that. “

The admission was made at a committee meeting, at which General Rob Magowan was asked if he accepted that the UK was not in a position for a lasting war.

“Yes, absolutely,” he replied.

MP Mark Francois said at the time: “We cannot fight a sustained war against Russia, abandon all those euphemisms about our adversarial peers. “

General Magowan said that public spending on defense “responds, across the board, to the threats we face. “

Britain’s military and defence officials have warned in recent weeks that the country is prepared for armed conflict.

The number of other people killed in the terror attack at a concert hall in Moscow has risen to 140, Russian officials said.

One victim, who was in “extremely serious condition,” died at the hospital, Russia’s Health Ministry said.

Doctors “did what they could” to save them, Mikhail Murashko said.

In all, another 80 people wounded in the attack remain hospitalized, the official added.

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said it was “extremely hard to believe” that Islamic State had the ability to provoke last week’s attack on a concert hall in Moscow.

Gunmen stormed the building, killing at least 139 people.

Although the Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack and Western countries the terrorist organization was behind it, Russia has cast doubt on this claim.

He claims that Ukraine was the attack – which Kiev strongly denies – and the head of Russia’s FSB also accused the UK and US yesterday of helping.

Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has detained members of a New Age organization in the city of Rostov-on-Don, according to the official TASS news agency.

Kazakhstan’s Allya Ayat has been banned as an “extremist” under Russian law.

The Russian government is on high alert following the deadly terrorist attack at a concert hall that killed at least 139 people.

The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack.

Russia has been shelling Kharkiv for the past 24 hours with cruise missiles, kamikaze drones, artillery and mortars.

Regional governor Oleh Syniehubov said four other people were wounded in the attacks, in addition to two security guards in their 60s.

One was wounded in a cruise missile attack on the city of Kharkiv, while another was wounded in a drone strike on Izyum.

Anti-aircraft missiles wounded a 56-year-old man in the village of Oleksandrivka and a 55-year-old man in Kupiansk.

Some 78 families in the village of Chornolozka were left without electricity after a missile strike.

Attacks on the Kharkiv region have intensified recently, with the destruction this month of a thermal power plant and all of the city’s electrical substations.

The Ukrainian capital is home to more than 400,000 displaced people, according to the Ukrainian parliament’s human rights commissioner.

Dmytro Lubinets said there were not enough systems available to help other people in Kyiv.

“After traveling through many regions of Ukraine, it is not uncommon to find regional systems with allocated monetary resources. However, this is not the case in Kyiv. This absence surprises me,” he said.

The total number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Ukraine stands at 4. 9 million.

Lubinets warned that a million more people would have to stop receiving aid.

The Russian president has ordered his government how to organize domestic production of gaming consoles, according to the TASS news agency.

Vladimir Putin has distanced Russia from Western products and electronics.

Western states have imposed sanctions on Russia following its invasion of Ukraine, and several Western corporations have pulled out of the country.

Russian state investigators said they would receive a request from politicians to investigate what they call “the organization, financing and conduct of terrorist acts” across the United States and other Western countries.

The head of Russia’s FSB security firm said he believes Ukraine was concerned about the terrorist attack on a concert hall near Moscow and that the United States and the United Kingdom contributed to it.

The West claims to have information that the attack was carried out through ISIS-K, an associate of the Islamic State.

The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack.

“They are our nation, they are our people. If I were the state of Russia, I would kill them with an axe. “

This is what Firdavs, a migrant employee from Tajikistan, with whom Sky News met outside the Tajik consulate in Moscow, said about the four suspects in the terror attack, all Tajik citizens.

Others joined us in expressing their condolences to the Russian people, they too were in mourning.

At best, Russia is a no-frills country for Central Asian migrant workers.

They keep streets blank and deliveries cheap, warehouses overcrowded, and structure projects afloat.

There is little to no security, but it is higher than wages in this country.

The war has added to this sense of precarity with raids on dormitories, regular deportations of unregistered immigrants, and fears about possible conscription.

Today, the horror of what happened at Crocus City Hall casts an even greater shadow.
