"Russian Court Remands Suspects Linked to Moscow Concert Hall Attack with Global ISIS Affiliation"

Four suspects accused of carrying out a deadly attack at a Moscow concert hall have been remanded in custody on "terror" charges, with the death toll expected to rise as over 100 people remain hospitalized. The suspects, reportedly citizens of Tajikistan, face potential life imprisonment, and Russian officials have called for harsher sentences, including the lifting of a moratorium on the death penalty. The attack, claimed by Islamic State, resulted in at least 137 deaths and 182 injuries, making it the deadliest in Russia since the 2004 Beslan school siege. President Putin has suggested a Ukrainian connection, while Kyiv has denied any involvement.
