Authorities in Russia claim a female suicide bomber attacked a bus in Southern Russia on Monday, killing at least six people in the deadliest bus blast in the region for nearly three years. The blast, which injured 28 people was captured by a nearby driver’s dashcam, and shows the blast almost instantly obliterating the bus.
As shards of glass and shrapnel tore across the highway, what remained of the bus slowly came to a halt as surviving passengers scrambled out of broken doors and windows.
Investigative Committee spokesman, Vladimir Markin, said:
This woman, in a hijab, got on the bus at one of the stops and the explosion occurred almost immediately afterwards
All eyes will now be on Russia as they prepare to host the 2014 Winter Olympics in the middle of a particularly violent patch. Here is the clip of the blast – it’s obviously a bit hectic – so be warned.
