Azerbaijani Dilbar Aliyeva killed in the St. Petersburg terror attack was a citizen of Russia, Azerbaijan’s Consul General in St. Petersburg Soltan Gasimov told APA on Tuesday.
The consul said wounded Dilbar was admitted to the Janelidze Research Institute of Emergency Medicine yesterday, but unfortunately she could not be saved.
The diplomat noted that Dilbar Aliyeva was a Russian citizen of Azerbaijani origin (the city of Ganja).
Gasimov added that Azerbaijani Zaur Valiyev, wounded in the metro blast, is also a Russian citizen of Azerbaijani origin (the city of Ganja).
“He is undergoing treatment in the department of surgery at the Janelidze Research Institute of Emergency Medicine,” he said.
An unidentified device went off at about 14:40 Moscow time on Monday in a subway train car when the train was moving from Tekhnologichesky Institut Station to Sennaya Ploshchad Station. The Russian Investigative Committee has qualified the blast as a terrorist attack, but other versions are looked into as well.
According to the National Anti-Terrorism Committee, the blast claimed 11 lives. The Russian Emergencies Ministry’s Regional Department in St. Petersburg said 51 people were injured. It provided no information on the number of those killed in the blast.
