According to Russian media, which refers to a source close to the police, the "Siren" plan was announced in the region. The publication noted that the last time the Siren plan was introduced was after a terrorist attack on the Crocus City Hall.
Terrorist attack in Moscow
Let's remember that on March 22 in Crocus City Hall, terrorists attacked the audience during a concert, opening fire and detonating explosive devices. A fire broke out, causing the building's roof to collapse.
According to a statement from the Moscow department of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations on Saturday, 144 people were killed, and about 550 were injured.
Responsibility for the attack was claimed by the Islamic State Khorasan Province, which is the Afghan wing of the terrorist organization Islamic State (IS).
Panic erupted after the attack in Russia, which also affected the authorities. On March 29, the human rights project "First Department" reported that in St. Petersburg, law enforcement is conducting a large-scale operation aimed at identifying and deporting foreigners who do not have the right to stay in Russia.
