An explosion on a subway train in the Russian city of St. Petersburg killed 10 people and injured about 50 others on Monday afternoon, according to the Tass and Interfax news agencies. 

The blast occurred when the train was between stations, according to officials.

On Thursday? Why didn't I hear about this? 

:( 

I just received reports about it this morning. It's weird because my family and I are tuned to Russian media, so I would have expected to hear this earlier.

Regardless, it's sad :(

I think the article is wrong. It's the only one that says that it happened Thursday. Maybe it's a bad translation?

You're right! Other articles reported it's happened today. Fixed the OP

My guess is ISIS taking revenge for what Russia did to Syria. Such a sad tragedy regardless

That seems super suspicious... 

Does anyone get flashbacks to the mysterious apartment bombing that the KGB/maybe Putin tried to stage in order to frame Chechnya for the bombings? Like KBG officials were caught redhanded planting bombs in apartments and all they said was they were doing a training exercise (on an active apartment building? Yikes...) and the bombings stopped after that.

Link to the story ^

Honestly I do not want to jump to conclusions here as I have no evidence of this particular incident being an inside job, but on the other hand I really think Putin is capable of anything.

Scary world dudes... RIP to those poor people :/

Who knows. Putin/the KBG/USSR have been known to bomb their own people to frame other region/country to justify going to war with them :(

So even if they "get to the bottom of it", I don't think we will ever truly know if was all just a ruse to justify new Russian aggression (either against Chechnya again or maybe even Syria) 

Edit: I linked the article to the 1999 story in my post above if you're interested
