“Unfortunately, three people were injured: a man who was in the car and two passers-by, a mother and her child. They were admitted to hospital with leg wounds. They are reported to be in a moderately severe condition,” he wrote.

Baza says either an improvised explosive device or a grenade caused the explosion. Mash reports an improvised explosive device was rigged to the bottom of the car. The preliminary theory is that a routine dispute was behind the blast.

Response teams are working on the spot, and nothing is threatening the local residents, Gladkov says.
