There were no immediate reports of terrorist groups claiming responsibility for the attack, but Daesh group, banned in Russia and many other countries, said earlier this May they were behind a car bomb blast that killed 18 Shiite pilgrims in Baghdad. The radical Daesh group considers Shiites to be apostates.
