20 anni fa iniziò l’assedio della scuola di Beslan. Durò tre giorni, più di 1.100 persone furono prese in ostaggio e si concluse con la morte di 334 persone, più della metà delle quali erano bambini, oltre a 31 degli aggressori.

Wasn’t this terrorist attack the one where casualties were higher than they should be because of the sheer incompetence of the authorities that handled this situation?
Basayev claimed that he had miscalculated the Kremlin’s determination to end the crisis by all means possible. He said he was “cruelly mistaken” and that he was “not delighted by what happened there”, but also added to be “planning more Beslan-type operations in the future because we are forced to do so.”
Glory to heroes from special forces who covered children with their bodies and saved them.
Gladly, not a single terrorist got away after that.
I’m pretty sure that the Russian army used thermobaric munitions to kill the terrorists… while the school was filled with children. On a side note, thermobaric weapons are extremely effective at maximizing casualties in closed spaces.
The most terrible thing is that the Russian special services had information about the planned terrorist attack, but the special services ultimately ignored the information about the terrorist attack. The main forces of the special services at that time were used to ensure the safety of the President of North Ossetia in the city of Nalchik…
Can’t believe it has been 20 years already..
