Two police officers and another person have been killed in blast in southern Moscow, according to the Russian Investigative Committee. The two traffic police officers were killed overnight on Tuesday into Wednesday in an explosion that occurred when they attempted to arrest a suspicious individual, the Committee said in a statement on Wednesday. An explosive device was triggered as the officers approached the suspect who was near their service vehicle, the statement said.
"It's a trendy breed," said Olga Setina, an administrator at the centre. "Everyone rushes to get them... But they're bulldogs, they've got teeth, they've got health issues, they've got everything. And then people abandon them," she added.
