Moscow Dec 9:Five people were lightly injured when a homemade explosive detonated at a bus stop in central Moscow, authorities said today. The device went off yesterday night on Pokrovka Street, a trendy area in central Moscow dotted with bars and restaurants.
“A hooliganism inquiry has been opened,” Moscow police spokesman Maxim Kolosvetov told AFP.
