St Petersburg Blast

Seven soldiers were injured after a World War II-era munition exploded in the Military Academy of the Signal Corps in St. Petersburg, Russia's Leningrad Military District said.

A prominent Russian military blogger was killed Sunday and 25 others injured in an explosion at a cafe in Russia's second-largest city of Saint Petersburg, the interior ministry said.

Russian investigators on Saturday arrested a suspect linked to the Saint Petersburg bomb which tore through a supermarket, wounding 18 people, in an attack labelled by President Vladimir Putin as an "act of terror".

Russian President Vladimir Putin said a bomb blast in a St Petersburg supermarket on Wednesday was an act of terrorism, and that security forces whose lives were threatened by terrorist suspects should shoot to kill if necessary.

A homemade bomb blast at a supermarket in the Russian city of Saint Petersburg injured 10 people Wednesday, officials said.

Three suspects in last month's bombing in the Saint Petersburg metro have been charged for their involvement in a "terrorist act", Russian investigators said Thursday.

For several hours, the face of the St. Petersburg suicide bomber was pretty much the one many Russians expected it to be: a young man with a long, thick beard, wearing a black overcoat and the traditional prayer cap of a pious Muslim.

Six people in St Petersburg and two others in Moscow were detained for suspected involvement in a deadly blast in the St Petersburg metro on Monday, the Russian Investigative Committee (RIC) said in a statement.

Russian authorities raided a residential building in St Petersburg on Thursday and found explosives similar to those used by a suicide bomber who this week blew up a metro carriage killing 14 people, two security sources said.

President Pranab Mukherjee today said the blast in St Petersburg is a reminder that terrorism must be dealt with "urgently and comprehensively".

When student Vladimir Zakharchenko hopped onto the third carriage of a Saint Petersburg metro train on Monday, he could not have imagined that his daily commute would finish in hospital.
