At least 15 people have died in a suicide car bombing at a market in Russia's North Caucasus region. The bomber drove his car into a market square in the city of Vladikavkaz, southern Russia, before detonating the explosives. Some 133 people were wounded in the attack.

No one has claimed responsibility.

Footage from the scene showed widespread damage around the market with many cars destroyed.

"The blast in Vladikavkaz has been organised by a suicide bomber who drove up to the entrance of the market in a Volga 3102 car," said Taimuraz Mamsurov, a senior North Ossetian official.

Dmitry Medvedev, Russia's president, ordered his envoy for the Russian North Caucasus region, Alexander Khloponin, to urgently fly to Vladikavkaz. He described the bombers as "bastards". "We will do everything to capture these monsters... these bastards, who carried out a terrorist act on ordinary people," Mr Medvedev said.

1. So far 16 dead

History is written by bastards so I will not be naive and assume this is irrelevant. But they are still bastards.

A suicide bomber has killed at least 16 people and wounded 100 others at a market in Vladikavkaz in southern Russia, officials say.

Bodies lay strewn and buildings were damaged by the explosion, which went off in a car packed with metal bars, bolts and ball bearings.

People rushed to help the wounded, many of whom are in a critical condition.

President Medvedev vowed to track down the "beasts" who carried out the bombing.

Police have detained three men suspected of involvement in Thursday's terrorist attack in the southern Russian city of Vladikavkaz, Russia's top security official said.

At least 17 people were killed a suicide car bombing in Vladikavkaz, the capital of North Ossetia. The republic's health ministry reported that 138 people were injured, with 110 still in hospitals.

Federal Security Service head Alexander Bortnikov, who arrived in Vladikavkaz earlier on Thursday to oversee the investigation into the attack, said the terrorists would be punished.

The Kremlin's special envoy to the North Caucasus, Alexander Khloponin, told RIA Novosti earlier in the day that police had "leads going to people involved in this incident."
