The first explosion happened in a carriage at the central Lubyanka underground station and has claimed the lives of 26 people, with more injured, informs RIA Novosti news agency.
The second blast happened at the Park Kultury Metro station. 15 or more people are reported to be dead, the quantity of injured is unknown.
According to Russia’s Emergency Ministry, the first explosion presumably happened in the second carriage of a Metro train stopped at the Lubyanka station in the very center of Moscow, only several hundred meters from the Kremlin. According to the latest information, 26 people are reported dead at the moment and over a dozen injured.
Rescuers are working at both scenes.
The explosions happened during rush hour. Both Lubyanka and Park Kultury stations are very busy interchange stations, with many people there at any given time, particularly on Monday morning.
It is hard to make any assumptions right now but some reports say the explosions were carried out by suicide bombers.
Meanwhile, all train services have been suspended on the Moscow Metro system for the time being, with security services on high alert.
