A bomb exploded through a subway train in St. Petersburg on Monday and it killed about 10 people and injured dozens more, government officials said. It exploded on a subway train traveling between the Technology Institute and Sennaya Square stations, according to the Russia’s federal criminal investigation agency. At the time of the attack, President Vladimir V. Putin was a few miles away in St. Petersburg, his hometown and the country’s second-largest city and former capital, on official business. Mr. Putin said all possibilities were being investigated since no one claimed responsibility for the attack. The bomb was a homemade device filled with shrapnel. It exploded in the third car just after the front of the train had entered the tunnel. Ten people died and 39 others were injured, the health minister, Veronika Skvortsova, announced live on television, and some of the wounded included children.
