SECOND BLAST HITS MOSCOW METRO
An explosion ripped through Lubyanka station in central Moscow at rush hour on Monday, killing at least 20 people and wounding 11 more, the Emergencies Ministry said.
The headquarters of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), successor to the Soviet-era KGB, is located just above the station.
“The blast hit the second carriage of a metro train that stopped at Lubyanka, at 0756 (4:56 a.m. British time),” ministry spokeswoman Irina Andrianova said.
The victims were inside the carriage and on the platform, she said.
Itar-Tass news agency reported earlier that 25 people were killed in the blast.
