The only person killed in Makhachkala explosions on Sept. 22 was Armenian.

Twenty-year-old Karen Asatryan, a citizen of the Russian Federation, was from Gyumri, Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesman Tigran Balayan told A1+.

"We have been able to establish a contact with Karen's relatives and agreed to transport the body to Gyumri," said the ministry official.

Two explosions took place in the capital of Dagestan, Makhachkala, on the night of September 22, killing one and injuring 60 people. The first blast went off at 0:40 a.m. in the city center, several hundred meters away from the central square. The second one took place 15 minutes later in the same district. Both bombs were reportedly set under cars in a parking lot.
