Update: Fedorov reported on the morning of 21 March that six people had been injured, including a four-year-old boy.

Quote from Fedorov: "Aerial bombs destroyed two houses and damaged three others, as well as buildings on the territory of a dacha cooperative. Fires broke out at the scenes.

The people affected received all the necessary assistance. The aftermath of the attack is being addressed." [A dacha is a sort of a summer house, usually with a little plot of land where people grow vegetables, fruit trees and berries, or keep a garden; a cooperative dacha community is an association of individuals, each of whom has a dacha plot within the same territory – ed.]
