At least one person has been killed and many others injured in two separate explosions in Russia’s North Caucasus region.
An explosion hit a cafe in the city of Pyatigorsk, which lies at the foothills of the Caucasus mountains, injuring at least 20 people on Tuesday afternoon.
Stanislav Belyayev, a spokesman for the Stavropol region police, said the explosion appeared to be a “deliberate terror attack”, but added an official investigation was under way.
Earlier in the day a suicide bomber killed one policeman and injured three others in North Ossetia, authorities said.
