A car exploded near a Moscow subway station Tuesday night, killing eight people and wounding 10, the Interfax news agency reported, citing emergency ministry officials.

The emergency ministry could not immediately be reached for comment. A duty officer at the Federal Security Service’s Moscow branch confirmed there was an explosion that caused injuries.
News reports said the blast took place near the Rizhskaya station in northern Moscow, in an area between the entrance to the station and a supermarket-department store complex.

The blast came a week after two Russian passenger planes crashed simultaneously following explosions on board, killing all 90 people aboard in what authorities say was a terrorist attack.

Suicide bombings blamed on Chechen rebels and their supporters have hit Moscow and other parts of Russia over the past several years. In February, 41 people were killed in a rush-hour explosion on the Moscow subway that officials said was a terrorist attack; in December a female suicide bomber blew herself up outside a hotel adjacent to Red Square, killing five other people.
Chechens voted on Sunday for president of the warring republic in an election that was backed by the Kremlin as a move toward establishing stability. The election was part of the Kremlin’s strategy for trying to undermine support for the separatist insurgents who have been fighting Russian forces for nearly five years.

Criminal underworld feuds in Russia also frequently spill over into violence, including car bombings, that have killed and wounded bystanders.
