ELEVEN people have been wounded in an apparent suicide bombing in Russia's restive Dagestan region, a spokeswoman for the regional interior ministry says.

The bomber, believed to be a woman, blew herself up on Saturday not far from the interior ministry building in the centre of the provincial capital Makhachkala, spokeswoman Fatina Ubaidatova told AFP.

The latest attack in the troubled Northe Caucasus region comes after twin car bombs killed four people and wounded several dozen in the same city on Monday.

Dagestan is one of Russia's most violent regions. It is also home to the parents of Boston marathon bombing suspects Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsaaev.
