Quote from Trukhanov: “Another terrorist attack on a peacefully sleeping city. A densely populated area. It’s just terrifying here. Rescue workers and municipal and emergency services are working at the scene. Debris clearance is ongoing.”
Details: “Engineering networks and the boiler house were also damaged, so adjacent buildings were disconnected from the heating supply.”
Trukhanov said a young person was killed at night. Medical assistance is being provided to those injured.
