Seven people were injured in the attack, including a 14-year-old boy. All victims were hospitalized with shrapnel injuries, but there is no threat to their lives.

  • First Strike: The initial hit occurred near a residential building. Nine cars caught fire, and the windows of nine-story and five-story buildings, as well as the roof and windows of a two-story residential building and two shops, were damaged.

  • Second Strike: The second hit damaged administrative buildings, the windows of an unfinished five-story building, and a private house.

Rescue workers, doctors, law enforcement agencies, and all emergency services are actively working to address the aftermath of the attack. "All emergency services are working to eliminate the consequences of Russian terror," said Synegubov.
