Suicide bombers carried out explosions in Russia’s Stavropol region, close to the North Caucasus, on Monday, according to the Interfax news agency, quoting a police source.
The blasts are said to have targeted a police station in a small town.
It is unclear how many suicide bombers were actually involved in the attack. Different reports have put the number between two and four.
“Two militants were killed in an attack on a police station in Stavropol region. One of them was killed while trying to pass a checkpoint. The other one managed to detonate his explosive device,” local police said in a statement.
Russian news agency RIA Novosti also said at least five explosive devices were used in the attack, citing a security source.
No-one was reported injured apart from the bombers themselves who were killed.
It was unclear whether the attackers might be linked to a militant group, or if they were operating alone.
