The DNA test results of two missing Kyrgyz women following the terrorist attack at the "Crocus City Hall" concert hall in Moscow are set to be ready this week. Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Almaz Imangaziev announced this during a parliamentary committee meeting on international affairs, defense, security, and migration.

Imangaziev emphasized that premature information regarding the confirmation of the deaths of the two Kyrgyz citizens should be avoided. The authorities are actively working on identifying the two women, Edita Zhusupova and Maiza Gulzhigit kyzy, and are urging the Russian side to expedite the process.

The Deputy Minister highlighted that the Russian authorities have requested not to rush them, as more than 100 deceased individuals still remain unidentified. The Russian Emergencies Ministry previously released an updated list of identified victims of the attack at the "Crocus City Hall" near Moscow, with a total of 120 names, including the two Kyrgyz women.

The terrorist attack occurred on March 22 at the "Crocus City Hall" near Moscow, where a group of individuals in camouflage attire without masks entered the building during a concert and opened fire on the attendees before setting the auditorium ablaze. The tragic incident resulted in the loss of 143 lives and left 360 others injured. Nine suspects, including those involved in the assault on the concert hall, have been arrested in connection with the criminal case.
