American citizens were advised to steer clear of large gatherings, hinting at the intelligence pointing towards possible terrorist activities.
As the country grapples with this devastating event, the international community stands in solidarity with the victims and their families. The response from Russian officials is eagerly awaited, with President Vladimir Putin yet to make a public statement regarding the attack.
