"According to our data, no one was injured in both explosions," a ministry spokesman told Itar-Tass on Sunday. Earlier in the day, a source in the local police told Itar-Tass that five people had been wounded in an explosion near a liquor store in the town of Derbent. Another source said that one more explosion had occurred near another shop, where no one was hurt.
