ISIS-K claims Moscow concert attack, opposes Putin, targets Muslims

ISIS-K, a branch of Islamic State, claimed responsibility for a terrorist attack at a Moscow concert hall, killing 60 and injuring 145. The group has a history of attacks, including a 2022 suicide bombing at the Russian embassy in Kabul. Experts suggest ISIS-K's motive for attacking Russia stems from opposition to President Putin and perceived oppression of Muslims. This attack is part of a series of Islamist-linked attacks in Russia over the past two decades.
