Russia's Investigative Committee said on Wednesday that the death toll from a blast at a school in the Crimean port of Kerch had risen to 13, with about 50 more injured and most of them teenagers.
The blast was caused by a bomb packed with metal objects that was set off in the building's cafeteria, investigators said earlier. A top Russian official in Crimea told the Associated Press the attacker at a Crimean college was a student who has killed himself.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that four military planes were ready to evacuate casualties of a blast for medical treatment, the Interfax news agency reported.
Shoigu was also cited as saying that space in military hospitals in Crimea was available for the victims.
