On 26 May 2010, at least seven people were killed in a bomb blast in Stavropol, Russia. At least 40 people were injured,[1] one from Moscow, while another is an outsider, and another from Azerbaijan or Turkey.[citation needed] The blast occurred before a concert.[2]

Stavropol had not experienced such an attack in recent years before the incident;[3] similar incidents had become more associated with Chechnya and Dagestan.[4] Russia said the attack was a "terrorist act".[4][5]

Eight people were killed in the event,[citation needed] a higher number than was originally reported.[5]
