A few weeks to Russia hosting the 2014 winter Olympics, two deadly attacks was recorded in two days in the city of Volgograd. 14 people were believed to have been killed Monday when an explosion hit a trolleybus during the morning rush hour. Less than 24 hours earlier, a blast at Volgograd's main train station killed 17 people.
Authorities lebaled both attacks as acts of terrorists, meanwhile no group immidealtely claimed responsibility for the acts, suspicions however fell on Chenchen separatists groups. One in particular, the Caucasus Emirate, has said it will expend "maximum force" in disrupting the Olympic games in Sochi. Here's a look at the ongoing conflict in Russia's North Caucasus region, at how the violence has spilled over into the rest of the country, and why Volgograd may have been targeted.
