In a chilling new threat, the Islamic State’s Khorasan Province (ISIS-K) has directed its fury at the “brutal Russians” and Vladimir Putin following a devastating attack near Moscow.

  • 🚨 Warning: ISIS-K has warned Russia and Putin to “beware,” as they vow vengeance for Russia’s mistreatment of its members in prison.

  • 🔪 Retaliation: The also group vowed to deliver strikes that will haunt future generations, ominously hinting at a massacre of Russians, their children, and their women.
