At least 37 people have been killed after two female suicide bombers blew themselves up on Moscow Metro trains in the morning rush hour, officials say.
Twenty-three died in the first blast at 0356 GMT as a train stood at the central Lubyanka station, beneath the offices of the FSB intelligence agency, the BBC reported.
About 40 minutes later, a second explosion ripped through a train at Park Kultury, leaving another 12 dead.
No-one has said they carried out the worst attack in the capital since 2004. Suicide bombings in Moscow have before been blamed on Islamist rebels fighting for independence in the troubled North Caucasus region of Chechnya.
In February, Chechen rebel president Doku Umarov warned that "the zone of military operations will be extended to the territory of Russia... the war is coming to their cities".
Moscow's metro is one of the busiest subways in the world, carrying some 5,5 million passengers a day.
