A spokesperson said that so far no Vietnamese citizens have been reported as victims in the incident in Crocus. The Vietnamese Embassy in Moscow is coordinating with local authorities to monitor the situation and is ready to take necessary protective measures in case any Vietnamese citizens are involved.

The terrorist group then escaped in a vehicle before Russian special forces arrived at the scene.

This was the deadliest terrorist attack in the Russian capital in 20 years. The United Nations and numerous countries strongly condemned the attack.

The Vietnamese Embassy in Moscow advises the Vietnamese community in Russia to limit their presence in crowded areas, regularly monitor and update information, and contact the Embassy immediately in case of emergencies for assistance.
