At least 14 people have been killed in a suicide bombing at a train station in the southern Russian city of Volgograd.
Russia's anti-terrorism committee said a woman blew herself up in front of a metal detector at the entrance to the station.
A health ministry spokesman said 42 people were wounded and that some would be flown to Moscow for treatment.
The explosion blew out the windows of the lower floors of the building.
The station was busier than usual, with people travelling home for the New Year holidays.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered law enforcement agencies to take all necessary security measures after the attack.
Security will be stepped up at major train stations and airports across the country.
It is the second suicide attack in the city in recent months.
A woman killed seven people when she detonated a device on 21 October.
The attack comes just six weeks before Russia is due to host the 2014 Winter Olympics in the Black Sea resort of Sochi.
Volgograd, which was formerly known as Stalingrad, is about 690km northeast of Sochi and close to the volatile North Caucasus region.
Insurgent leader Doku Umarov urged militants in a video posted online in July to use "maximum force" to prevent Mr Putin staging the Olympics.
