Over 30 people are reported to have died in a suspected suicide bomb attack at Moscow’s Domodedovo attack on Monday afternoon, Russian health officials said.

The blast occurred at 16:40 in the arrivals section of the international airport.

Russia’s Health Ministry said 31 people died and many dozens were injured in the attack.

Airport employees broke down the wall between the main airport and the arrivals zone to allow passengers to escape the scene of destruction.

Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has been informed about the blast.

Two planes which took off from the airport, Moscow’s busiest, were blown up by female Chechen suicide bombers in August 2004.

Terrorist attacks in the Moscow metro took the life of 39 people last March.
