The blistering explosion ripped through a filling station in the city – which is the capital of Russia’s semi-autonomous region Chechnya.

And the explosion was less than a mile from the lavish palace of Putin’s so-called attack dog warlord Ramzan Kadyrov.

Locals claimed the blast was so strong that the ground shook like in an earthquake.
