95 people are still missing after the attack that took place last Friday at a concert hall on the outskirts of Moscow, a Russian news channel reported, Reuters reports. The official number of victims of the attack on Crocus City Hall is 143 people and 182 wounded.
But the Baza Telegram channel, which has reliable sources in the Russian security forces, wrote that another 95 people are on lists compiled by emergency services based on people’s requests for missing relatives.
These lists include people whose relatives have not been able to contact since the terrorist attack, but who are not in the lists of the wounded and dead,” Baza writes.
Asked about the disappearances, the Kremlin on Thursday declined to comment, telling the media they had to turn to investigators.
More than 200 people may have been inside the burning building minutes before the roof collapsed, Baza reported on Saturday, citing sources in the emergency services who analyzed surveillance footage.
Appeal in social networks to search for missing persons
In the days after the attack, Russian social networks were flooded with calls to help find the victims. In the Telegram chat called “Crocus. Help Center,” friends and relatives posted the names of the missing concertgoers and offered support.
“Was there anyone named Ihor Valentinovych Klimenchenko on the list? Can someone send a list of the wounded?” one user wrote late Saturday. Klymenchenko’s name was not on the list of confirmed dead published by the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations.
Another person in the same chat wrote that their uncle works not far from Crocus and has not contacted him since the attack. “Very worried,” the grandson wrote on Saturday evening.
Local media in south-western Russia’s Bryansk region reported on Wednesday that the woman was still searching for her son Dmytro Bashlykov, a teacher from Moscow who went to a concert with a friend who managed to escape. Bashlykov’s surname is not on the list of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
It was confirmed that several missing people died, for example, 15-year-old Arseniy, who went to the concert with his mother, Iryna Vedeneeva. The SHOT Telegram channel published a photo of Arseny on Sunday, which it claims he sent to his grandmother shortly before the concert began, together with calls from the “grieving pensioner” to help find him. His mother’s death has already been confirmed, SHOT reports. The names of the mother and son are on the list of confirmed dead published by the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia.
