Russian authorities announced Wednesday the launch of an investigation into two car bomb explosions in Moscow. Security services indicated they had detained at least two suspects, including teenagers, in connection with the case.
According to initial reports, Russian internal security services believe these young people were incited to plant the explosive devices. The precise circumstances of their recruitment or involvement have not been detailed at this stage of the investigation.
Two vehicles were involved in the explosions that occurred Tuesday in the Russian capital. One of the detonations took place in eastern Moscow in the morning, while a second explosive device was identified by authorities in the southwest of the city.
The explosion of the first vehicle resulted in the death of its driver, according to information released by investigators. Authorities have not yet commented on any other possible victims related to these incidents.
Russian security forces are continuing their investigations to determine the motives and possible connections of the suspects. No group has yet claimed responsibility for these attacks.
These events are taking place against a backdrop of heightened security in Russia, where authorities regularly claim to have thwarted or investigated acts of sabotage or attacks targeting infrastructure or state-related interests.
