Another unexploded device reportedly found on Metro network

A source in the emergency services has reported that only one blast occurred, instead of the two initially reported, reports Roland Oliphant.

The home made device was thought to be equivalent to 200 grams of TNT and was placed on the carriage.

Another unexploded device has been found on the St Petersburg metro system, Russian agencies report.

“A bomb that failed to go off was found at Vosstanaya Square metro station,” Interfax reported citing an anonymous source. Police have not confirmed the report.
