Sept. 1 (Bloomberg) -- Moscow police are conducting a partial evacuation at the Kursk railway station in central Moscow as they search for explosives after receiving an anonymous phone call from a man threatening to detonate a bomb at the station, Interfax news service reported.

Train services at the station haven't been disrupted, the news service said, citing the Interior Ministry's department on railway transport.

A suicide bomber last night detonated an explosive device near a subway station entrance in northern Moscow, killing 10 people and injuring 51, in the third terrorist attack in the country in one week. A group calling itself the Islambouli Brigades claimed responsibility for the blast in a statement posted on an Islamic Web site, according to Agence France-Presse.

The same group claimed responsibility for the Aug. 24 crashes of two Russian passenger jets, which killed 89 people.
