Gunshots were heard in the concert hall shortly before flames engulfed it. The Federal Security Service (FSB) reported fatalities and injuries in the wake of the assault. Preliminary figures reported by TASS estimate that 40 were killed and over 100 others were wounded as a result of the terrorist attack.

Several explosions were heard in the aftermath, and while it is unclear if there were any bombings involved, it is speculated that the explosions were as a result of the fire that broke out.
