The three people who were killed were from the same family and included a four-year-old child. The taxi driver suffered serious shrapnel injuries in the chest and later had surgery in hospital.

It could have been an accident as people still collect relics from World War II battlefields in the area,
The city also has a history of racist attacks and criminal activity, and there have also been what appear to have been terrorist incidents.
Last year, six people were injured in a blast inside a McDonald's restaurant right in the heart of St Petersburg.
