Two Russian soldiers hurt in Chechnya blast

At least two Russian soldiers have been injured in a bomb explosion in the North Caucasus Republic of Chechnya, local police say.

The Russian Defense Ministry servicemen were wounded when the bomb detonated near Chechnya's capital of Grozny, RIA Novosti reported on Friday.

A junior sergeant and a sergeant major are the reported victims of the apparent improvised explosive device (IED) blast in the rural area of Chishki.

The military officers have been rushed to a hospital. There are no further details on the latest bomb blast.

Chechnya has a history of violence in the clashes between government forces and Chechen separatists, who seek independence from the federal government.
