SAINT PETERSBURG, (MILLAT ONLINE/APP/AFP): Eleven people were killed and dozens more injured as an explosion rocked the Saint Petersburg metro Monday, with the Kremlin saying it bore “all the hallmarks of an attack.”
Authorities shut down the metro system in Russia’s second city for several hours as security services said they had also defused a bomb at a second metro station.
Russia’s Investigative Committee said it was probing an “act of terror” but added it would look into all other possible causes of the blast.
Pictures screened on national television showed the door of a train
carriage blown out, as bloodied bodies lay strewn on a station platform.
Above ground, emergency services vehicles rushed to the scene at the
Technological Institute metro station, a key transport hub in the city centre.
