A suspected bomb blast inside a train in the St. Petersburg Metro killed eleven passengers and injured dozens of others. The entire Metro system was shut down as bomb squads and rescuers responded to the emergency.

The explosion happened as the train was travelling between the stations Tekhnologichesky Institut and Sennaya Ploshchad of the St. Petersburg Metro, the National Antiterrorism Committee (NAC) confirmed.

The NAC put the number of fatalities at 11 and the number of injured being treated in hospitals at 45. She said that the six people being treated in St. Petersburg hospitals for injuries remain in critical condition.

Health Minister Veronika Skvortsova earlier said that among the victims was a 15-year-old girl, who has burns and a head injury.

Images posted on social media show bodies lying next to the damaged car, with blood apparently spilt on a bench.

According to health officials, the victims being treated in hospitals vary in age from teenagers to as old as 70. They are suffering from burns, blunt head traumas, shrapnel injuries and lung damage.

Russia’s Investigative Committee praised the driver of the train for not trying to stop in the tunnel after the explosion.

“He acted right in the circumstances. The explosion happened in the tunnel between stations, but the driver took the right decision and brought it to the next station, which allowed evacuation and help to the injured to start at once. This may have prevented casualties,” the committee said.

Terrorism probe has been launched over the blast by Russia’s Investigative Committee.

An undetonated improvised explosive device (IED) was discovered by investigators at the Ploshchad Vosstaniya Station and defused by specialists, the NAC reported. It rejected media reports which claimed that more than one explosion occurred, saying no evidence supporting this was found.

Alleged photos of the IED surfaced on social media. They show a medium-sized leather bag, which apparently held a container filled with explosives, with ball bearings wrapped around it.

Facebook has activated its Safety Check feature for users in St Petersburg. It allows people to let friends and family know that they are OK during a disaster or dangerous situation.

The St. Petersburg city authorities declared three days of mourning for the victims of the Metro explosion.

I always think this will happen in the US. There's really no way to control the amount of people on the subway in busy cities..

Using nails bombs? Like the Boston marathons with the pressure cookers?!
