Fedorov noted that the reason for such a large number of casualties was that the enemy attacked the city at a time when people were leaving work, about to do their commute.
As a result of the airstrike, two buses were destroyed with passengers in one of them being killed, and two people were killed in a tram. Thirty-six vehicles were also damaged.
It was earlier reported that the enemy employed a FAB-500 bomb with a glide function in the deadly air raid.
