Explosive devices thrown at Russian consulate in Marseille

Three improvised explosive devices were thrown at the Russian consulate in the southern French port city of Marseille on Monday but no one was injured, a police source said.

Two of the three devices detonated in the attack, the source said.

BFM TV said the projectiles were Molotov cocktails and that they landed in the consulate's garden.

Russia demanded a full French investigation and said the incident looked like an act of terrorism, state news agency TASS reported.

"The explosions on the territory of the Russian Consulate General in Marseille have all the hallmarks of a terrorist attack," TASS quoted Russia's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova as saying.

No one was injured, the security source said. Consulate staff were kept indoors and police set up a security perimeter around the consulate.
