GROZNY, July 8 (RIA Novosti) - The number of people injured in Tuesday's bomb attack in Russia's North Caucasus republic of Chechnya has been adjusted to nine, an Interior Ministry spokesman said.
Earlier reports said six people, including two police officers, were injured on Tuesday when an explosive device went off in a public garden in Chechnya's capital, Grozny.
The bomb had been planted in a garbage can. A criminal case has been opened and an investigation into the incident is underway.
Eight people have received medical assistance and have been discharged from hospital. One police officer is in hospital in a "medium to grave" condition, the spokesman said.
The Kremlin announced a formal end to its 10-year counter-terrorism operation in the troubled region on April 16, but violence has continued in Chechnya and neighboring republics.
