Aftermath of deadly explosion at petrol station in Chechnya of Russia

The Russian ministry of Emergency Situations showed firefighters extinguishing the blaze at an almost totally destroyed petrol station, with burnt out cars, in Chechnya's main city of Groznyy.

In a statement released with the images, the ministry said that the explosion killed at least four, including two children. Russia's North Caucasus has seen several deadly blasts at service stations recently.

Last month, an explosion at a petrol station in the neighbouring Dagestan region killed 13 people. In August 2023, a similar explosion killed 35 people in Dagestan and injured dozens.
