BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 23. Tajikistan’s
Foreign Ministry has denied the involvement of the country’s
citizens in the terrorist attack in Moscow, Trend reports, referring
to the ministry.

“To media representatives,

Regarding the recent terrorist incident at the Crocus City Hall
concert complex in Moscow, we urge the responsible handling of
information regarding the alleged involvement of Tajik citizens or
individuals from Tajikistan.

It’s crucial to note that the Tajik authorities have not
received official confirmation from Russian authorities regarding
the circulating false information implicating Tajik citizens. Thus,
we strongly advise relying on material released by Russian
government agencies that is officially sanctioned,” the foreign
ministry said.

As emphasized, it’s important to consider that spreading
unverified and unreliable information could potentially harm Tajik
citizens currently abroad.

To note, the incident unfolded when unidentified individuals
began shooting at Crocus City Hall in Krasnogorsk, near Moscow,
prompting evacuations, according to reports from Russian
operational services.

Eyewitnesses reported that people dressed in camouflage attire
fired shots from machine guns inside Crocus City Hall, just before
the scheduled concert by the Picnic group.

The shooting resulted in the loss of 60 lives, with over 140
individuals sustaining injuries.
