2 explosions hit southern Russia, killing 9

MAKHACHKALA, Russia — Russian officials say two suicide bombings in the southern province of Dagestan have killed at least nine people including two policemen.

The incident comes two days after a twin suicide bombing tore through the Moscow subway, killing 39.

A regional Interior Ministry spokesman told The Associated Press that the blasts occurred Wednesday morning in the town of Kizlyar, near Dagestan’s border with Chechnya.

Police pulled over a suspicious-looking car, when the driver detonated explosives. As police officers and residents gathered at the scene there was a second blast.

Rebels from the North Caucasus, which includes Dagestan and Chechnya, were blamed for masterminding the Moscow attack, but no claims of responsibility have been made.
