At least 20 people have been killed by a bomb at a police station in Russia's southern republic of Ingushetia.
The suspected suicide attack in Nazran, Ingushetia's main city, injured more than 60 people, including children.
The republic borders Chechnya and has seen a spate of shootings, bombings and other attacks on police and government.
The Ingush leader blamed militants, but Russian President Dmitry Medvedev sacked Ingushetia's interior minister, saying the attack had been preventable.
"The police must protect the people and the police must also be able to defend themselves," Mr Medvedev said.
Monday's bomb attack was described as the deadliest strike in months in Ingushetia.
The explosion gutted the building as police lined up for a shift change.
