At least two non-Russian nationals are in hospital after they were wounded in the terrorist attack at Moscow's Domodedovo Airport on Monday.

A total of 35 people were killed and more than 130 were wounded in the explosion caused by a suspected suicide bomber.

The Russian authorities have not released a full list of the victims. Slovak actress Zuzana Fialova is known to have been wounded in the blast, the Russian paper Pravda reported.

The power of the explosion was equivalent to seven kilos of TNT, investigators said. Experts believe that the Domodedovo explosion may become one of the largest transport terrorist acts in the world. The bomb was filled with damaging agents.

Most likely, the suicide terrorist was standing in the crowd of people in the arrival area of the airport. Investigators have classified the case as 'terrorist act,' Vladimir Markin, an official with the Investigation Committee of the Russian Federation said, as cited by the Pravda newspaper.

The press service of the Federal Customs Service said that the explosion took place in the general admission area which is situated close to international arrivals area.
