"The first hit was almost in the center of the city, near a busy intersection, in a garage cooperative. Four people were wounded there, all of them are in light condition. In addition, two police officers who were on duty were also lightly injured. In Kholodnohirsk district, a civilian railway facility was hit. A 25-year-old man died there.
