The Russian city of Volgograd bore witness to a horrific bus-bombing incident that took place on Monday. Apparently, a 30-year-old female suicide bomber is to blame for the six deaths associated with this tragic case and the twenty-eight wounded of which eight were in serious condition, according to Reuters.

It is a most unfortunate happening, with the blast caught on dash-cam in full gory detail, from a few car lengths behind – we usually end up only seeing the aftermath in situations such as this, never the actual moment.

The footage presented here is shocking, especially when one knows what the outcome ultimately was and that it incurred loss of life.

Sources from Russia have suggested it was an act of terror possibly carried out by Islamist militants from the North Caucasus, who do not approve of Russia’s hosting of the 2014 Winter Olympics, in February of next year, in the popular Sochi resort.
