On 21 October 2013, a suicide bombing took place on a bus in the city of Volgograd, in the Volgograd Oblast of Southern Russia. The attack was carried out by a female perpetrator named Naida Sirazhudinovna Asiyalova (Russian: Наида Сиражудиновна Асиялова), who detonated an explosive belt containing 500–600 grams of TNT inside a bus carrying approximately 50 people, killing seven civilians and injuring at least 36 others.[3][4][5][6][7]

Attack
The bombing was committed by Naida Asiyalova, a 30-year-old fugitive from the Republic of Dagestan. Asiyalova was the wife of Dmitry Sokolov, a militant from Makhachkala, Dagestan's capital city. The suicide attack upon the bus in Volgograd was expected to take place in Moscow.[8]
In response, authorities from the Volgograd Oblast declared three days of mourning. Members of the public donated blood for the victims of the blast.[9]
On 22 October, the People's Republic of China condemned the bombing.[10]
On 16 November, Russian security forces killed five insurgents, including Naida Asiyalova's husband, Dmitry Sokolov, who had converted to Islam under the name of Abdul Jabbar.[11][12][13]
