(Eagle News)–No Filipino was reported hurt in the attack in a concert hall in Moscow, the Department of Migrant Workers said on Saturday, March 23.

DMW officer-in-charge Hans Leo Cacdac said this was based on information provided by Department of Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Ed de Vega.

“Our deepest sympathies and prayers for the families of the victims of the attack,” Cacdac said.

Russian authorities said at least 60, including children, were reported killed after at least five camouflage-clad men barged inside the Crocus City Hall and fired automatic weapons at concertgoers.

Soviet-era rock group “Picnic” was about to perform to a full house when the attack was carried out.

The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for what happened.
