(FOX)- At least one explosion at a subway station in St. Petersburg Monday killed an estimated 10 people and wounded many more, Russian media reported.
One of the blasts came from a device that appeared to be filled with shrapnel, according to Sky News. One explosion unfolded at the Sennaya Ploshchad station, the BBC added.
Photos from the scene appeared to show injured commuters on the platform, and a train car with a door blown out.
Several stations in the northern Russian city have been closed and an evacuation is under way, administration officials said.
Russian news agencies quoted Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been informed about the explosion. Putin is visiting the city Monday and is expected to hold talks with the president of Belarus later in the day.
