The initial death toll from the attack was 139.
In an earlier statement, a Health Ministry center told the state media that the number of those injured rose to 360.
“As of Wednesday morning, 360 people were injured as a result of the terrorist attack, including 11 children,” a representative of the All-Russian Centre for Disaster Medicine told TASS.
The representative further said 92 victims were hospitalized, with 63 people already discharged, while outpatient care was provided to 205 injured.
On Friday, gunmen opened fire at Crocus City Hall in the city of Krasnogorsk in the Moscow region.
