<p>The terrifying incident took place on a train that was travelling between Sennaya Ploshchad and Sadovaya metro stations.<br />
The station was evacuated and several other metro stations across Russia’s second-biggest city were shut down. The anti-terror committee said it found and deactivated another bomb at a different St. Petersburg station.<br />
Russian President Vladimir Putin, who was already in his hometown, the country’s second-biggest city for planned meetings, said investigators were ruling out no cause — including terrorism.</p>

<p>If the subway bombing turns out to be a terror attack, it would be the deadliest one on Russian soil since suicide bombings in the southern city of Volgograd killed 34 people in 2013. ISIS militants also shot down a Russian airliner traveling from Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt to St. Petersburg in October 2015, killing all 224 people on board.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">Russian media outlets released pictures of the bearded suspect who is wearing a long, black top and a hat and is thought to have caused carnage by detonating the bomb which sent shrapnel shredding through the train.<br />
Dozens have been injured, including children, as it was reported the man left a briefcase on a train before moving carriages moments before the deadly blast and a second explosive device was found and defused in a nearby station.<br />
Bloodied passengers were left strewn across the platform in the Russian city as emergency services scrambled to save those wounded by the bomb and the resulting shards of glass and twisted metal.<br />
Russian president Vladimir Putin was already in his hometown of St Petersburg today for talks with the president of Belarus and confirmed &#8216;there are dead and injured&#8217;, offering his condolences to the families of those killed.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">The Kremlin leader, who wanted to visit the scene in the aftermath of the attack but was held back by security services, said: &#8216;I have already spoken to the head of our special services, they are working to ascertain the cause of the blasts. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov however, denied earlier speculation that President Putin was due to pass by the Sennaya Metro station around the time of the blast.<br />
&#8216;The causes are not clear, it&#8217;s too early. We will look at all possible causes, terrorism as well as common crime.&#8217;<br />
Interfax news agency is citing an unidentified source who says the suspect in Monday&#8217;s blast might have left the explosive device in a bag.<br />
The explosion happened between the Sennaya Ploshchad station and Tekhnologichesky Institut at around 2.40pm local time, Russia’s National Anti-Terrorism Committee said.<br />
Earlier reports indicated a backpack had been thrown onto the train and witnesses also suggested there had been multiple explosions, but officials confirmed just the one blast.<br />
Russian security agencies did find an explosive device at a different metro station in central St Petersburg and made it safe, the National Anti-Terrorist Committee said in a statement.<br />
The device was found at the Ploshchad Vosstaniya metro station, a different location from where a blast earlier took place.<br />
Other witnesses also described a man leaving a briefcase on one carriage before moving to another just seconds before the huge explosion.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">Russian President Vladimir Putin says investigators are examining all causes for the blast in St Petersburg today &#8211; including terrorism.<br />
And while no-one has yet come forward to claim responsibility, the country&#8217;s security services have previously said they had foiled &#8216;terrorist attacks&#8217; on Moscow&#8217;s public transport system by militants.<br />
An attack on St Petersburg, Russia&#8217;s old imperial capital, would have some symbolic force for any militant group, especially ISIS or Chechen secessionist rebels.<br />
ISIS, which has drawn recruits from the ranks of Chechen rebels, has also threatened attacks across Russia in retaliation for the Kremlin&#8217;s military intervention in war-torn Syria. Russia has been on particular alert against radicalized Chechen militants returning from the battlefield in Syria &#8211; and wary of any attempts to resume attacks that dogged the country several years ago.<br />
Just days ago, the Kremlin said authorities had detained one of the attackers who carried out a deadly strike on a military base in Chechnya, in which six soldiers and six rebels died.</p>
