An explosive device has been found in a forest in Moscow during a drug raid.
Police were tipped-off by an anonymous caller about a hidden drug-stash in the south-east of the city. Instead of drugs, officers found a metallic box.
This turned out to be a bomb containing one-and-a-half kilograms of explosive material. The mechanism was safely defused.
While it is not clear who made the device, experts say mechanisms of this kind are used to attack railway lines.
