MOSCOW, August 20 (RIA Novosti) - One man was killed and another severely wounded when an explosive device went off in south Russia's Republic of Kabardino Balkaria, a local police official said on Thursday.
The explosion went off near a stadium in the town of Tyrnyauz late on Wednesday, the official said.
"A man died at the scene as a result of the explosion, and another man was taken to hospital with multiple injuries," the official said, adding that police resumed an examination of the scene this morning.
Russia's North Caucasus region has been swept by a wave of militant violence in recent months.
Ingushetia, which borders Chechnya, saw its deadliest attack in years on Monday, when a suicide bomber driving an explosives-laden minivan rammed the gate of the police headquarters in Nazran, killing 24 people and injuring 136.
