An explosion during a Victory Day military parade has killed at least 32 people and injured at least 130 others in the southern Russian republic of Dagestan. Among those killed were 12 children and 15 servicemen. Russian President Vladimir Putin called the attack "terrorism." Government sources said Thursday's blast occurred shortly before 10 a.m. (1 a.m. EDT) as a military band was passing through a square in the city of Makhachkala. It is believed the bomb was set off by remote control, according to the source. The victims included children, veterans and musicians who were marching down the street toward a cemetery to lay wreaths at the town's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
