For three days the terrorists kept the hostages in the gym without food or water. And on September 3, two powerful explosions were heard at the school, which provoked an unplanned assault. As a result of the attack, 334 people were killed, including 186 children aged 1 to 17, as well as rescuers and special forces soldiers. Hundreds of people were seriously injured, some were disabled for life.
