A 23-year-old man from Central Asia is believed to have been behind two bombs on the St Petersburg Metro.
The first bomb was detonated on a train between Sennaya Square and Technological Institute, two busy stations in the centre of the Russian city on Monday afternoon.
At least 11 people were killed and dozens were injured in what is believed to have been a suicide attack.
Russia's anti-terror agency said that less than two hours later, a second bomb was found and deactivated at Vosstaniya Square, a station that is a major transfer point for two Metro lines and also serves the rail line to Moscow.
That bomb, which was disguised as a fire extinguisher, was filled with shrapnel and more than three times the size of the first explosive.
The Interfax news agency cited an unidentified law enforcement official as saying that the suspected suicide bomber is believed to have left the larger bomb at Vosstaniya Square before blowing himself up on the train using the first bomb, which he carried in a backpack.

He is believed to have links to radical Islamist groups, although a spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin would not comment, saying it was up to law enforcement agencies to talk about the investigation.
Intelligence agencies In Kyrgyzstan said the likely suspect was a Kyrgyz-born Russian citizen.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin said US President Donald Trump called Mr Putin to pass on his condolences following the attack.
In a statement, the Kremlin said Mr Trump had also asked Mr Putin to convey his support for the Russian people and that Mr Putin had thanked his American counterpart for the expression of solidarity.
A White House statement said that Mr Trump had "offered the full support of the US government in responding to the attack and bringing those responsible to justice".
Mr Putin was among those to visit an improvised memorial near the entrance to the Technological Institute station on Monday evening.
Earlier he told Russians that law enforcement and intelligence agencies were working to "give a full picture of what happened".
He promised help for victims of the explosion and their families.
