According to preliminary reports, ten people have been killed and twenty wounded after a suspected suicide bomb blast at Domodedovo airport in Moscow.

A spokeswoman for the federal prosecutor's office said the cause of the blast (which occurred in a baggage-claim area) was as yet unknown.

Last March, two women suicide bombers from the Dagestan area set off explosives in Moscow’s subway system, killing 40 people.
