On 26 May 2010, at least seven people were killed in a bomb blast in Stavropol, Russia. At least 40 people were injured, one from Moscow, while another is an outsider, and another from Azerbaijan or Turkey. The blast occurred before a concert. Stavropol had not experienced such an attack in recent years before the incident; similar incidents had become more associated with Chechnya and Dagestan. Russia said the attack was a "terrorist act". Eight people were killed in the event, a higher number than was originally reported.
