Three projectiles were thrown over the perimeter wall of Russia's consulate in the southern French port city of Marseille today, two of which exploded, Marseille police said.
The incendiary devices were thrown into the gardens of the consulate in France's second-largest city by population. Investigators were analysing the contents of the three bottles that were used as projectiles.
The Kremlin said that Russia was pressing France over security measures following the incident, which Moscow said appeared to be an act of terrorism.
Russia demanded a full French investigation, state news agency TASS reported.
The French government condemned the incident: "France condemns any infringement of the security of diplomatic compounds."
No one was injured, police said. Earlier, consulate staff had been kept indoors while bomb disposal officers conducted checks.
"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.
