Russia mourns victims of Moscow concert hall terrorist attack

Near the Crocus City Hall in suburban Moscow, a somber sea of Russian citizens of all ages converged to pay their respects to the victims of Friday's terrorist attack here that claimed at least 137 lives.　

Amid the bleak grey day, an impromptu tribute featuring predominantly red and white flowers left by mourners expanded　by the minute. Among the candles and blooms, fluffy toys contributed by children were scattered.　

In a televised address to the nation on Saturday, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared March 24 a day of national mourning for the lives lost in the terrorist attack. More than 150 people were injured after the attack, with some still in critical condition.
