Volgograd blasts: New deadly explosion hits Russian city


The blast took place at a busy time on a busy route, as Daniel Sandford explains

At least 14 people have been killed in a suicide bombing on a trolleybus in the Russian city of Volgograd, investigators say.

The blast comes a day after 17 people died in another suicide attack at the central station in the city.

Security has been tightened at railway stations and airports across Russia.

Police officers with a sniffer dog examine territory around the site of a trolleybus explosion in Volgograd, Russia, Monday, Dec 30, 2013.

Moscow is concerned militant groups could be ramping up violence in the run-up to the 2014 winter Olympic Games in the city of Sochi.

The Olympic venue is close to Russia's volatile north Caucasus region.

But a spokeswoman for the International Olympic Committee told Reuters news agency that the organisation had no doubt Russian authorities would provide adequate security for the games.
