STORYLINE
Distraught relatives continued to wait anxiously outside a school in Russia, where militants were holding hundreds of captives for a second straight night early on Friday.
Two blasts were heard just after midnight and Russian news agencies reported that a policeman was injured near the site of the school in the North Ossetia region town of Beslan.
Authorities said the officer was injured during unprovoked firing by the hostage-takers from grenade launchers and automatic weapons.
The explosions came after a day of intermittent fire at the school .
As night fell, anxious relatives, friends and neighbours were still crowded outside barricades blocking off the building.
So far, 31 women and children of various ages have been released.
But militants were still holding hundreds of hostages.
One man, whose two grandchildren are being held, wanted to know how militants had been able to seize the school.
President Vladimir Putin said everything possible would be done to save the lives of the children and other hostages who were seized on the first day of classes at School No. 1 in Beslan.
But it was uncertain how the captives could be freed without further bloodshed or capitulation to demands that authorities said were not clearly defined.
