Two unrelated stabbings left a Belarussian citizen dead and a Tajik native injured in Moscow, Interfax reported Wednesday.
The Belarussian, Igor Linnik, 33, received two stab wounds while traveling between the Strogino and Krylatskoye metro stations in western Moscow on Tuesday and died on the platform of the Molodyozhnaya station shortly afterward, the report said, citing the Investigative Committee.
No suspects were identified, but investigators were examining footage from surveillance cameras, it said.
An unidentified 24-year-old Tajik citizen was stabbed by an unidentified man during an argument in eastern Moscow on Tuesday, Interfax reported, without elaborating.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
