A court in Moscow said on social media on Sunday that two of the suspects have admitted to the charges against them, and identified one of them as a Tajik national.
The Amaq news agency, which is linked to Islamic State militants, says the attack was carried out by the group's members. It posted an online video showing men firing automatic weapons.
