Four gunmen opened fire at a rock concert outside Moscow on 22 March 2024 and set the building alight. Islamic State-Khorasan claimed responsibility and the United States had warned Russia publicly two weeks earlier; Putin had dismissed the warning as blackmail. The Russian government nonetheless sought to link the attack to Ukraine, for which no evidence was produced.
