"Two people were injured as a result of the first explosion. One of them is the son of Federal Security Service [FSB] Colonel Kamil Etimbekov, who was killed in 2004 in the yard of the same house," a police spokesman said.

According to media reports, FSB Colonel Etimbekov investigated large-scale terrorist attacks before he was killed in June 2004.

The second man injured in Tuesday's explosion was also Etimbekov's relative. Both were hospitalized.

The second explosion occurred 50 meters (164 feet) from the first one. The explosive device had been placed in a garbage can. No one was injured.

Russia's mainly Muslim North Caucasus republics, especially Chechnya, Dagestan and Ingushetia, have seen an upsurge of militant violence lately, with frequent attacks on police and officials.
