At least 17 people, including the bomber, have been killed and over 40 injured in a blast at a railway station in the city of Volgograd, southern Russia.
The explosion took place at 12.45 local time (08:45 GMT). A female suicide bomber is suspected, says the National Anti-Terrorism Committee. The device reportedly went off just before the metal detector. Witnesses say a policeman detected a suspicious woman who blew herself up when he approached her.
Many witness accounts and amateur footages were shared on the internet depicting the Volgograd explosion.
