MOSCOW, Russia (CNN) -- At least five people were killed and 29 wounded after an explosion tore through a passenger train in southern Russia, officials say.

The blast ripped through the fourth car of a six-car train near the city of Kislovodsk around 7 a.m., according to Anatoly Lesnikh, the press secretary for the governor of Stavropol region.

Kislovodsk -- about 1,400 kilometers (870 miles) south of Moscow -- is just northwest of the border with Chechnya, where Russian forces have been fighting separatists rebels for the last decade.

Suspecting an attack by Chechen rebels, the Russian Prosecutors Office immediately opened a terrorism investigation, a spokesman said.
