<p>“They (attackers) saw us. One of them ran back and started shooting at people. I fell to the floor and pretended to be dead. I was bleeding,” she said. “The girl lying next to me was killed,” she added, saying the terrorists opened fire on people who were lying on the ground.</p>

<p>“But at some point, we understood that something was seriously wrong, we realised there were shootings,” Arina added.</p>

<p>“We all lay on the ground. I looked beside me and I saw many injured people covered in blood.”</p>

‘I pretended to be dead’: Moscow carnage survivors recount horror

<p>The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the harrowing terrorist attack that took place at a Moscow concert hall on Friday (Mar 22) and resulted in the death of at least 133 people.</p>

<p>A statement released by the group on Telegram read, “Islamic State fighters attacked a large gathering of Christians in the city of Krasnogorsk on the outskirts of the Russian capital, Moscow, killing and wounding hundreds and causing great destruction to the place before they withdrew to their bases safely.”</p>

<p>Russia’s Investigative Committee said Saturday (Mar 23)&nbsp;it was too early to comment on the fate of the attackers <strong>but later two suspects were arrested.</strong>&nbsp;Russia’s Tass state news agency is reporting that President Vladimir Putin has wished all those injured&nbsp;a speedy recovery and conveyed his gratitude to the doctors.</p>

<p>The US intelligence has confirmed the IS’s claim, which had warned about a terror attack inside Russia in recent weeks.</p>

<p>The attack on Crocus City Hall, which left more than 145 wounded, is one of the worst attacks on Russia since the 2004 Beslan school siege when terrorists took more than 1,000 people hostage.</p>

<h2><strong>UN condemns attack</strong></h2>

<p>The UN secretary-general has condemned the attack in 'strongest possible terms'.</p>

<p>“The secretary general conveys his deep condolences to the bereaved families and the people and the government of the Russian Federation. He wishes those injured a speedy recovery,” read a statement released by a spokesperson of António Guterres.</p>

<p>Russia is recovering from a mass shootout at a rock concert in Moscow’s Crocus City Hall which has been labelled as a "terrorist attack" by the government. The death toll of the attack has reached 133, according to media reports.</p>

<p>Here are the previous attacks which took place in Moscow in the last 25 years.</p>

<h2><strong>Bomb blast in apartment building, 118 killed (1999)&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>A bomb blast took place at an eight-storey apartment building early morning on September 13, 1999, in southeast Moscow in which 118 people were killed.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>This was one of the five attacks on apartment buildings. In all the five attacks in southern Russia and Moscow over a two-week period, a total of 293 people lost their lives.</p>

<p>The attacks were blamed by Moscow on separatists belonging to the Muslim North Caucasus republic of Chechnya.</p>

<p>The attacks were used as a justification by Russian President Vladimir Putin for launching a campaign to destroy separatist insurgency in Chechnya.</p>

<h2><strong>Theatre hostage incident, 130 killed (2002)&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Around 19 female and 21 male Chechen rebels stormed inside the Dubrovka theatre of Moscow on October 23, 2002, when a musical was going on and took more than 800 people as hostage.</p>

<p>The standoff between the security forces and hostages continued for two days and three nights. This came to an end when gas was injected into the theatre by the security forces to overpower the attackers and then entered inside it.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In all, 130 hostages were killed. Most of them died due to choking.</p>

<p>Nearly, 20,000 fans had gathered to hear some of the top bands in Russia at the annual Krylya (Wings) festival.</p>

<h2><strong>Metro bomb blast, 41 dead (2004)&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>A bomb was detonated by a little-known Chechen group on February 6, 2004, inside a Moscow subway in morning rush hour in which 41 people were killed.</p>

<h2><strong>Metro suicide bombing, 40 dead (2010)&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>
