At Least Fourteen Killed in Volgograd by Second Bombing in Two Days

A second blast rocked the Russian city of Volgograd on Sunday, raising intense security concerns in advance of the Sochi Olympics.

Just sooner or later after a bomb in a rail station killed at least sixteen and wounded over fifty, a bomb was detonated on a trolley bus, killing a minimum of fourteen people and wounding every other twenty-seven. The powerful explosion destroyed the bus and even knocked out home windows of nearby storefronts.

Officers consider the blast used to be the act of a suicide bomber, and stated that the bombs within the trolley and the railway station had been an “identical” combination of TNT and shrapnel. No particular group or motivation has been identified but.

In the meantime, Russian president Vladimir Putin has put regulation enforcement on a heightened state of alert and beefed up security at major transit centers. Volgograd is ready 400 miles from Sochi, the place the Wintry weather Olympics are set to kick off in a couple of weeks.
