The trial of 19 people involved in the Crocus City Hall bombing that killed 149 people begins in Moscow on Monday. The attack was claimed by Islamic State.

On March 22, 2024, an armed attack at the Crocus City Hall concert hall in Moscow resulted in the deaths of 149 people. The attack, claimed by the Islamic State, was one of the bloodiest in Russia's recent history. The trial will try 19 people, including four attackers from Tajikistan. The attack sparked a xenophobic backlash against Central Asian migrants and was accompanied by unfounded accusations of Ukrainian involvement, which were rejected by the Kiev authorities.
