Two of the four ISIL-K gunmen who carried out the bloody terrorist attack in Moscow had stayed in Istanbul for a short time in the previous months, but they did not become radicalized during their stay in Turkish territory, Turkish security sources have said.

In the aftermath of the harrowing attack on Moscow's iconic concert hall "Crocus City Hall," the accused perpetrators have come forth with full testimonies detailing the orchestration of the assault and those who aided in its planning.

After the terror attack that shook the Crocus City Hall concert hall in a Moscow suburb, a Russian court has made a decisive move, extending the custody of the four defendants until May 22.

Four men accused of involvement in a massacre at a Moscow concert hall that killed 137 people were remanded in custody Sunday, as Russia observed a national day of mourning following the attack claimed by the ISIL.

Turkish security forces have captured 40 suspects in a series of operations targeting ISIL across eight of the country's 81 provinces, authorities announced on March 24.

Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya revealed the details of the coordinated crackdown, dubbed "Bozdoğan-16," in a statement shared on his X account.

Following the tragic attack at Crocus City Hall near Moscow, the Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia has informed President Vladimir Putin of the apprehension of 11 individuals, including the four assailants directly responsible for the terrorist act. The Kremlin press service relayed the update, underscoring the ongoing efforts to identify and apprehend accomplices.

Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya has announced the arrest of 147 individuals in coordinated operations targeting ISIL across 33 provinces.

"For the peace, unity and solidarity of our beloved nation, we will not tolerate any of the terrorists," Yerlikaya said in a statement on Feb. 8.

Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya has stated that the investigation is looking into the deviation from typical characteristics of ISIL terror attacks with the recent deadly shooting on a Catholic church in Istanbul.

The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for an attack on a Roman Catholic church in Istanbul during a Sunday Mass that killed one person.

The extremist group said in a statement late Sunday that it "attacked a gathering of Christian unbelievers during their polytheistic ceremony" inside the Santa Maria Church in the Buyukdere neighborhood in Istanbul.

Turkish security forces have caught two gunmen who killed a man in an armed attack on a Catholic church in Istanbul, with the assailants believed to have ties with the ISIL terrorist organization, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya has announced.
