A 18-year-old man set off an improvised explosive device at a monastery in a local suburb, killing himself and injuring eight others on Monday, TASS news agency reported.
The attacker, a former student at an Orthodox school of the Vvedensky Vladychny Monastery, had a personal conflict with other students and teachers, according to TASS.
Seven teenagers were among the injured, and the blast damaged the door of the school at the centuries-old monastery.
The perpetrator was planning to launch the attack during morning prayers, but the bomb went off at the entrance, the report said. (ANI/Xinhua)
