A suicide attacker rammed a truck packed with explosives through the gates of a Russian military hospital near Chechnya, destroying the building and killing at least 27 people, authorities said. One official put the death toll at 35.
Yesterday’s blast demolished the four-storey red brick hospital in the city of Mozdok in Russia’s North Ossetia region, the region’s emergency situations minister Boris Dzgoyev said. He said that at the moment of the explosion, there were 98 patients and 21 employees inside the building, which collapsed like a house of cards.
