Twenty three students from the 4th Veria high school who were on a school trip to St Petersburg are safe, Greece’s general consul to the city, Panos Beglitis, told the press on Monday.

Beglitis said the students were visiting Tsarskoye Selo when the blast happened at the metro station, a town located 24 kilometers south from St Petersburg. He said he spoke with the students’ professor, Mr. Theotokidis, who assured him that he is in continuous contact with the president of the Greek association to check those who are outside the city and record the ongoing developments.

The Greek General Consulate in the city is in communication with Russian police and the foreign ministry to specify if there are any Greek citizens among the victims.
