The attack on a Moscow concert hall on Friday was the worst in Russia for years. More than 100 people were killed as gunmen stormed the complex, days after President Vladimir Putin began his fifth term of office.

This is what is known about the attack.

Crocus City Hall, on the outskirts of Moscow - 20km (12 miles) from the Kremlin - was about to host a concert by the rock group Picnic when gunmen burst into the foyer just after 20:00 (17:00 GMT) on Friday evening.
