Tonight, the tenants of the apartment building in the south-western area of Stavropol were evacuated after an explosion that occurred in one of the apartments.

Local residents reported that one of the tenants, who lives on the tenth floor, blew up, presumably, a grenade, the "Interfax" reports.

Law enforcers held a counterterrorist operation (CTO) and killed a man who had triggered an explosive device. He refused to go out and surrender, the edition reports, citing its informed source.

In total, 130 tenants were evacuated from the building; none of them was hurt, the RIA "Novosti" reports.

The man's apartment was examined by experts: there is no danger for people there, the RBC reports with reference to Andrei Djatdoev.
