The explosion occurred on Monday night when a fire started at a car repair shop and spread to a nearby gas station, triggering the blast on the outskirts of Makhachkala, the region's capital.

In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) expressed its condolences to the families of the victims and wished all those injured a speedy recovery.
