MAKHACHKALA, Russia — An explosion believed to have been caused by a remote-controlled bomb ripped through a Russian military truck at a bath house in the capital of Dagestan (search), killing at least 10 troops in the deadliest attack in the southern province in months, officials said.
Seven soldiers were wounded.
Bloodstained bodies lay in the street on the outskirts of Makhachkala (search), and ambulances quickly whisked away the wounded. It was not immediately known whether there were any civilian victims of the blast.
Rashid Isayev (search), the head of the province's criminal police, said the explosion occurred as three trucks packed with Interior Ministry troops arrived at a bath house in Makhachkala. He would not immediately comment on what type of explosive device was used, but Russian news reports said it appeared to have been detonated by remote control.
The news reports also cited unidentified officials as saying the blast was the equivalent of about 22 pounds of TNT.
