At least three of the injured teenagers are in a critical condition, RIA Novosti reported, citing a local hospital.

Dagestan’s Interior Ministry spokesman confirmed the numbers of the dead and injured to RT.

Investigators are now working at the scene, the official said, adding that anti-terrorist committee is not involved in the case. According to preliminary data, the incident happened due to “careless handling of a weapon,” he told RT.

A grenade exploded in a computer classroom, RIA Novosti cited the school principal, Shamil Abakarov, as saying.

The weapon was allegedly brought into the building by an eighth-grade student, he said.
