A bomb tore through a car in Russia’s troubled North Caucasus Saturday and seriously wounded a policeman, investigators said, confirming another blast that killed a woman in the same region a day before.
Saturday’s bomb was fixed to the car of a police detective in the town of Tyrnyauz in the North Caucasus republic of Kabardino-Balkaria, they said.
“The police officer was hospitalised with multiple injuries,” the Investigation Committee said in a statement.
The investigators also confirmed a bombing at a railway station in the republic of Dagestan late Friday which media had already reported killed a woman and wounded five people.
The blast struck a railway platform in the city of Derbent on the Caspian Sea as passengers boarded a surburban train, the committee said.
“As a result of the explosion, one person died,” investigators said. “One policeman received a head injury.”
A spokesman for Dagestan’s interior ministry told AFP that a woman was killed, three policeman wounded and three civilians also hurt.
It was not clear who was behind the attacks. Investigators opened a criminal case on charges of terrorism over the train blast, while the car bomb was classed as the attempted assassination of an official.
The local pro-Kremlin authorities in the North Caucasus are battling to defeat an Islamist insurgency that has already left scores of civilians and police dead.
In March 12 people were killed in a double suicide attack in Dagestan which came after coordinated suicide bombings on the Moscow metro blamed on Islamists from the Caucasus claimed the lives of 39 people.
