As two suspects were charged Sunday in the deadly terrorist attack on a concert at Moscow’s Crocus City Hall, Russia’s ambassador to the United States claimed that the U.S. administration didn’t pass “concrete information” through the Russian Embassy in Washington about possible preparations for a terror attack.

Russian investigators said the attack killed at least 137 people, including three children, and injured 182 others. At least 101 of the victims were being treated in hospitals on Sunday, Russian officials said.

Russian authorities identified the two suspects charged in Friday’s attack as Dalerjon Mirzoev and Rachabalizod Saidakrami Murodali, the press services of the Basmanny Court of Moscow told the Russian news agency Interfax on Sunday.

The suspects are charged with committing a terrorist attack that resulted in the death of a person as part of an organized group, Interfax reported. The suspects are under detention, but investigators are formally asking for their arrest.

“The court received petitions from the investigation to select a preventive measure in the form of detention in relation to Dalerjon Mirzoev and Rachabalizod Saidakrami Murodali,” the press service reported.

Two more accused terrorists were brought to the Basmanny Court Sunday: Muhammadsobir Zokirchonovich Fayzov and Shamsidin Fariduni, per the court.
