Russian authorities have released these CCTV still images that they say show the man who committed today’s bomb attack in the St. Petersburg subway system. The suspect placed a nail bomb in a train, which detonated, and a ball bearing bomb in a station, which did not. The first bomb was disguised in a suitcase, while the second was disguised in a fire extinguisher. Eleven have died so far and almost 40 were injured in the blasts, according to The Telegraph, though estimates of the number injured vary widely.

These images, which were aired by Russian television station 4 PEH, show the fully-bearded suspect wearing a black robe and a black hat. Russian authorities say warrants have been issued for the arrest of two suspects, though they did not clarify if the man pictured in the CCTV stills was one of them.

Express reports that just days ago, ISIS threatened that “Russia will burn” in propaganda distributed by the terror group. This attack may confirm the terror group’s presence in Russia; authorities have already labeled this attack an “act of terror.”
