MOSCOW: A 10-year-old was stabbed to death at a school in Russia by an older pupil on Tuesday, the authorities said, adding that a suspect had been detained.
“Police received a report that a student had stabbed a security guard, sprayed pepper spray and then stabbed a 10-year-old student, who died from their wound,” local police said on Telegram.
The statement added that “the attacker was detained” and was now in custody after the attack in Gorki-2, a village west of Moscow in the Odintsovo district.
Russia’s main investigative body, the Investigative Committee, said the suspect was a 15-year-old.
“The motive for the crime is being determined,” it said on Telegram, adding it opened a probe into the incident.
Armed attacks in Russian schools were once a rarity but have become more frequent in recent years.
Last year, a teenage student wounded four people with a hammer in the southern Russian city of Chelyabinsk.
A 14-year-old girl opened fire at a school in the southwestern city of Bryansk in December 2023, killing a classmate before taking her own life.

Russia hits Ukraine power grid with ‘massive attack’: operator
KYIV: A “massive attack” by Russian forces on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure has caused power outages across the country, the state grid operator said on Saturday.
Russia has pressed on with its invasion of Ukraine in recent days despite the two countries holding US-brokered talks to end the nearly four-year-long war.
Ukrainian officials have accused Moscow of deliberately targeting energy infrastructure, causing outages that have left hundreds of thousands of people without lighting or heating in temperatures well below zero.
“Russia is carrying out another massive attack on the Ukrainian power grid facilities,” grid operator Ukrenergo said on Saturday.
“Due to the damage caused by the enemy, emergency outages have been applied in most regions,” it said in a statement on Telegram.
“Currently, the attack is still ongoing. Restoration work will begin as soon as the security situation allows.”
Ukraine and Russia have held two rounds of US-mediated negotiations in Abu Dhabi since January.
Kyiv and Moscow have agreed to a major prisoner swap but have made no breakthrough on the issue of territory, a key sticking point in negotiations.
Moscow has accused Ukraine of orchestrating the shooting of a top military intelligence general in the Russian capital on Friday, leaving him wounded. Kyiv has not commented.
