Russian News agencies are reporting that at least 31 people have been killed and over a 100 have been injured at Moscow’s Domedevo airport following an explosion.

Local media claimed that smoke was seen coming from the baggage claim area and people were seen fleeing the emergency exits.

The cause of the explosion has yet to be determined although recently the Kremlin has been struggling with the Islamist insurgency in the mainly Muslim North Caucasus.

Domedevo is generally seen as one of Russia’s more modern airports although security procedures have recently been called into question.
