Representative of the Smolninskoe City Hall Dmitry Baltrukov said that on Wednesday evening there was an explosion near the building of the Moscow region.
According to the deputy, after 19:00, ten representatives gathered on the porch of building 60 on Suvorovsky Avenue, because they did not have access to the building and began an impromptu meeting … Five minutes later a fire broke out under the porches, and when the smoke faded, MEPs continued the negotiations.
“Towards the end of the council, an explosive device went off under the porch bars,” Baltrukov said.
He noted that several locals were in need. No damage is caused. Interfax sources said law enforcement officers had arrived, but no official statement had been made by police.
