Helicopters tackled a fire following a suspected terrorist attack on the Crocus City Hall in Moscow, Russia, on Friday night, March 22.

Officials said at least 60 people were killed and many more wounded when gunmen opened fire inside the building. The so-called Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the atrocity.

Witnesses inside the 6,200 venue, which was about to old a concert by pop group Piknik, said the attackers also threw a grenade or incendiary bomb, which began a blaze that quickly spread through the building.

Three helicopters were involved in tackling the fire, which was extinguished shortly after midnight.
