Ukraine strongly denies any involvement in the attack, while Islamic State Khorasan (IS-K) claims it was responsible.
Vladimir Putin has claimed the gunmen behind the Moscow concert hall terror attack attempted to flee to Ukraine in the aftermath of the mass shooting. The allegation, made by the Russian president during an address to the nation, came despite the Islamist terror group Islamic State Khorasan claiming responsibility for Friday night's attack, in which at least 130 people were killed.
The group's Amaq news agency said on the social media site Telegram that the attack came 'within the context of a raging war between the Islamic State and countries fighting Islam'. Central Asia is a fertile recruiting ground for IS-K, as are the restive republics of the Russian Federation, Ingushetia, Dagestan and Chechnya. The group claims Mr Putin and his regime are killing Muslims and have previously pointed to Russia's military operations in Chechnya, Syria, and Afghanistan.
