At least 10 people have been killed by two explosions in the
St. Petersburg metro, according to state-run Russian media.
The RIA Novosti news agency reported blasts at two metro
stations: Sennaya Ploshchad and Tekhnologichesky Institut. Andrey Kibitov, the
head of the city governor’s press service, said on Twitter (link in Russian)
that 50 people were injured.
Social media images showed a train carriage with its doors
blown off.
Russian president Vladimir Putin was in St. Petersburg to
meet with Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko earlier in the day but has
since left, his spokesperson said.
