Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday, claimed that a bomb blast at a supermarket in St Petersburg a day earlier, was an act of terrorism.

Putin also said another terrorist attack had been thwarted in St Petersburg but did not provide any details.

At least 13 people were injured in the incident, when an improvised explosive device went off at a storage area, for customer's bags at the supermarket.

Investigators said the device contained 200 grams of explosives and was rigged with shrapnel to cause more damage. 

As of now, no one has claimed responsibility for the attack. 

The blast was the second attack on Russia's second largest city, since the attack of the City's metro system, where fifteen people were killed on April third.
