    The St Petersburg metro bombing
  • On 3 April 2017, an explosive went off on the St Petersburg Metro between Sennaya Ploshchad and Tekhnologichesky Institut stations, killing 15 people and leaving 45 others injured.

    Russia faces a complex domestic terror scenario from various groups, hence it was difficult to identify the perpetrator-group immediately.

    Russian President Putin was visiting St Petersburg on the day of the blast.

    Second bomb defused, ISIS or Chechens suspected

  • A second bomb was found a diffused at another station. Russia's FSB intelligence service suspected either an IS-inspired group enraged by recent Russian airstrikes in Syria or Chechen nationalists carried out the attacks. However, there was no credible evidence to suggest either.
