Amaq, an ISIS-affiliated news agency, reported on Telegram that a concert hall caught fire during a concert, despite the group not providing evidence. Video footage showed attendees trying to seek safety amid gunfire and explosions.

Armed individuals opened fire using automatic weapons, igniting a fire, and allegedly escaping in a white Renault car, according to state-run RIA Novosti.
