At least 10 people were killed and around 50 were injured on Wednesday in an explosion at a college in Russian-annexed Crimea.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said anti-terror authorities were examining the possibility that the blast, which hit the polytechnic college in the Crimean city of Kerch, was caused by a bomb, Efe news reported.
Initial reports from the scene attributed it to a gas explosion.
