A man has been arrested on suspicion of setting off an explosion at a supermarket in St Petersburg earlier this week, Russia's main domestic security agency said. | |
The blast on Wednesday in a storage area for customers' bags injured 18 people. | |
The Federal Security Service (FSB) announced the arrest in a statement carried by Russian news agencies, but did not identify the suspect or provide any details about his motive. | |
It did say the suspect organised and carried out the attack on his own. | |
Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the explosion, according to SITE, a group that monitors IS statements. | |
President Vladimir Putin has called the explosion a terror attack, adding that he ordered security agencies to kill terror suspects on the spot if they resist arrest. | |
