Blast Hits Russian Embassy in Belarus

Unidentified attackers threw a hand grenade into the compound of the Russian Embassy in Belarus hours before President Vladimir Putin was due to arrive in the city for a summit, Belarussian officials said Thursday.

An official at Belarus' presidential Security Council said no one was hurt in the incident, which happened shortly before midnight Wednesday.

He said the grenade hit a tree and bounced back toward the perimeter fence before going off.

The official said the grenade was of a type used by advancing troops and designed to produce more sound than destruction. Russian news agencies said the blast caused only minor damage.

Belarussian presidential spokesman Nikolai Borisevich said President Alexander Lukashenko had convened security officials in emergency session to discuss the attack.
