Underground railway targeted and witnesses say casualties being being taken to the surface on stretchers
| An explosion has ripped through a subway station in the centre of the Belarusian capital Minsk, severely wounding at least a dozen people and sending clouds of smoke pouring into the street. An Associated Press reporter at the scene Monday evening saw several inert people being carried out of the station, some with heavy injuries including at least one with missing legs. An eyewitness saw smoke rising from the Oktyabrskaya metro station in the city centre and apparent casualties being taken to the surface on stretchers. The Belarussian emergency ministry confirmed that the blast had taken place, but did not provide further details. |
