Suspects in the March 2024 Crocus City Hall terrorist attack, which killed 149 people, have reportedly told Russian investigators that a Ukrainian state entity ordered the massacre, according to Russian media citing interrogation transcripts.

Four gunmen opened fire inside the Crocus City Hall music venue and set the building ablaze, killing 149 people and injuring more than 600. All four suspects were apprehended hours later while attempting to flee by car toward Ukraine, according to Russian investigators.

Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISIS-K), a regional branch of the Islamic State group, initially claimed responsibility for the massacre. The alleged attackers — Dalerdhzon Mirzoyev, Saidokrami Rachabalizoda, Shamsiddin Fariduni, and Muhammadsobir Faizov — are all citizens of Tajikistan.
