The accident happened in the Luga district, more precisely 130 kilometers south of St. Petersburg, at a historical festival dedicated to the war of 1812," a police source told AFP.

"An accidental shot from a cannon wounded four during the historical reenactment of the episode 'Battle on the Koloč Bridge,'" the source said.

The injured, one of them seriously, are in the hospital, and the police are investigating the circumstances of the accident.

This year, Russia is celebrating the 200th anniversary of the victory over Napoleon's army, with historical events that will culminate in September near Moscow, with the reconstruction of the Battle of Borodino.
