The Russian authorities initially said they were treating the incident as a terrorist attack, but later it was reclassified as murder.



Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that President Vladimir Putin expressed his condolences to the victims and ordered emergency services to provide assistance.



Some 200 soldiers and 10 military vehicles have been deployed to help at the site of the explosion at the school, TASS reported, citing local military officials.



The video and photos published by the local Crimean media showed people going to various ambulances on the scene, and that some of the university's windows looked broken. Russian state television showed videos of military armored vehicles driving rapidly towards the university.
