The Tass and Interfax agencies reported the blasts hit the Sennaya Ploschad and nearby Tekhnologichesky Institut stations in the centre of the city.

Images posted on social media showed a carriage in Sennaya station with its doors blown out with casualties nearby.

President Vladimir Putin, who is in the city, said all causes, including terrorism, were being investigated.

Interfax reported that at least 20 people had been injured, and that one of the blasts involved a device filled with shrapnel.

Tekhnologichesky Institut serves metro lines one and two, with the first hall opening in 1955, followed by the second in 1961.

Sennaya Ploschad - the next station along metro line two - opened two years later, in 1963.

To be fair, there are a lot of groups in Russia that could do this, but it's probably them.

Well. Going to be interesting to see how Putin handles this.

Well. Going to be interesting to see how Putin handles this.

Why? It's not like Putin is some great military mind. He has a tenth of the military might off the US, he's not going to do more than kill a bunch of civilians. He's a focking putz. Much like you.

Same as before?

 

 

St Petersburg's metro system is the 19th busiest in the world, with more than two million passengers every day, but it has not suffered attacks before.

 

Several transport hubs in Russia have, however, been attacked. In 2010, 38 people died in a double suicide bombing on the Moscow metro. And a year later, a bomb exploded on a high-speed train traveling between Moscow and St Petersburg, killing 27 and injuring another 130.

 

Both attacks were claimed by Islamist groups.
