MOSCOW (Reuters) - A bomb exploded in the centre of the town of Kizlyar in Russia's turbulent North Caucasus region of Dagestan Wednesday, causing casualties, Itar-Tass news agency quoted police as saying.
The blast occurred near a cinema, the agency said. It gave no further details.
Monday, twin suicide bombings killed 39 people on Moscow's metro underground rail network.
The deadliest attack in the Russian capital in six years fuelled fears of a broader offensive by rebels based in the North Caucasus and underscored the Kremlin's failure to keep militants in check.
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who led Moscow into a war against Chechen separatists in 1999 that sealed his rise to power, said Tuesday that those behind the bombings must be scraped "from the bottom of the sewers" and exposed.
Moscow observed a day of mourning Tuesday for the victims of the blasts, which authorities said were set off by female suicide bombers linked to the North Caucasus -- a string of heavily Muslim provinces that includes Chechnya.
