According to investigators, “he was wearing a black top with Nazi symbols and a balaclava” and was not carrying any ID.

“His identity is currently being established,” investigators said.

Russia’s interior ministry also said there were about 20 people injured in the attack.

The region’s governor Alexander Brechalov confirmed there were “casualties and wounded among children”, speaking in a video statement outside school No88 in Izhevsk.

Rescue and medical workers could be seen working at the scene in the background, some running inside the school with stretchers.
