A suicide bomber rammed into a Russian firing range killing five people and wounding scores on Sunday in the volatile North Caucasus region of Dagestan, law enforcement sources said.
The explosives-packed car attacked a military base used by the motor rifle brigade at Dalny near the city of Buynaksk, some 40 kilometres (30 miles) west of the local capital Makhachkala, said the sources, who refused to be identified.
"Five people are dead. Three of them died on the spot and another two in hospital," a law enforcement source told AFP, adding that the blast had hurt at least another 35 people, two of whom were in critical condition.
