Several explosions in multiple St Petersburg stations have killed 10 people and injured at least 50 so far.
No dive into terrorism yet but it seems rather likely. Images of mangled trains are circulating

Title can be amended when it's confirmed as a terrorist incident. This is an ongoing incident, expect fluctuations in the numbers but hopefully no further attacks. I'd assume absolutely all form of metro travel has been suspended in major cities.

Update: Definitely a terrorist attack, just needs confirmed if foreign or domestic, one unexploded device was recovered. 2 bombs exploded from a planned 3 over 2 seperate stations, unaware if the third was in a third station or with one of the others

Moscow Station evacuated. Suspicious package, likely just precaution now and nothing serious hopefully.

An additional device has been found at a second St. Petersburg metro station -- Revolutionary Square -- but has been secured, the NAC said in a statement.
