St. Petersburg – Unknown attackers threw a pair of firebombs at a Russian synagogue.
The attack took place during the late hours of Monday night in St Petersburg, some 650 kilometers north of the capital Moscow.
The building, located in a working-class neighborhood of the Baltic port city, was not damaged, nor was any synagogue staff injured, the report said.
One of the devices, a bottle filled with petrol, ricocheted off the synagogue wall and may have injured the attacker, a synagogue spokesman said.
