how different are these two paragraphs?

"A blast has ripped through a packed stadium in the separatist Chechen capital of Grozny on Sunday, killing and injuring an undisclosed number of people, the RIA Novosti news agency has reported."

"A land mine exploded during Victory Day celebrations Sunday in the Chechen capital, Grozny. Ten people were injured, an emergency official said."

Well, the russian government is notorious for trying to hide facts and make things sound not as bad as they really are. I wouldnt be surprised if half the people there were killed by a car bomb and they just said 10 injured by a landmine.
