Around 10 people were killed Monday in a blast on the metro system of Russia's second city Saint Petersburg, a source in emergencies services told Russian news agencies.
"According to the first preliminary data, around ten people were killed," the source told Russian news agencies after the Saint Petersburg metro said that an unidentified object had blown up in a train carriage.
Images posted on social media showed a train carriage with its doors blown out and damage inside. Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is in the city, has been informed, Russian media say.
"An evacuation from the stations is ongoing, there are people injured," the Saint Petersburg metro said in a statement carried by Russian news agencies.
