On Cam: Putin Kneels Down Then Drops Kursk Revenge Threat At Beslan Terror Attack Memorial | Russia

Russian President Vladimir Putin visited Beslan to pay tribute to the victims of the 2004 terror attack. In September that year, a group of Chechen and Ingush terrorists targeted a school in Beslan, laying siege to it and taking around 1,100 people hostage, including 800 children. The attack lasted for three days, and finally ended after Russian special forces stormed the building. The tragic incident saw 334 people killed, including 136 children. Russian forces eliminated nearly all 32 terrorists affiliated with Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev. During his visit, Putin also toured the school premises, which has since been transformed into a memorial complex. He also paid homage to the soldiers of the elite Alfa and Vympel units who perished during the operation and later met with members of the 'Mothers of Beslan' organisation to express his condolences. During the trip, Putin also dropped a huge message on avenging Ukraine's attack on Russia's Kursk region. Watch the full video for more.
