A mourning ceremony and other events will be held to mark 10 years since the Beslan school siege, which saw over 300 people, 186 of them children, killed.
The site of the tragedy, former school #1 in Beslan, a small town in Russia’s North Ossetia, will become the centre of the remembrance ceremonies which have been annually held since 2005.
A commemorative ceremony marking the 10th anniversary of the Beslan school tragedy took place in the town of Beslan, North Ossetia, Monday.
Thousands of mourners converged on the ruined gymnasium of school Number One where over 1,000 people were held captive for three days by militants from the North Caucasus region without food and water. Mourners laid flowers and lit candles in memory of the 334 people who lost their lives in the Beslan siege.
The bloodiest terrorist attack in Russia’s history claimed - in official figures – the lives of 186 children, 118 relatives or school guests, 17 teachers, 10 special forces officers, two Emergencies Ministry employees and one policeman. A further 810 people were injured.
