POLICE in Russia's Irkutsk region said Friday that they will offer a hefty reward for any information that could help hunt down the masterminds behind the recent powerful explosion in Angarsk city.

"Law enforcement agencies believe evidence of eyewitnesses -- people who might have seen a suspicious person last night or in the early hours before the blast went off -- can be very helpful to identify the criminal," the press service of the regional police department said.

A bus stop in Angarsk's 211th city quarter was hit by an explosion equivalent to more than one kilogram of TNT at 8:35 a.m. local time (0035 GMT) on Thursday, leaving two people injured.

A 38-year-old man was currently in grave condition, a chief doctor at the local hospital told the Interfax news agency. A woman was slightly injured.

The regional investigation department is not considering the incident as a terror attack at the moment.

"So far as I am informed, the incident in Angarsk is not a terror attack," Sergey Eroshchenko, governor of the Irkutsk region, is quoted as saying by Russia's TASS News Agency.
