After the explosion in a cafe in St. Petersburg, which killed military commander Vladlen Tatarsky, 40 people turned to doctors for help. This was reported in the press service of the Russian Ministry of Health.
“According to operational data, as a result of an incident in a cafe in St. Petersburg, 40 people sought medical help, including three minors,” the agency said in a statement.
Earlier it was reported that 33 people received injuries of varying severity, of which eight people are in serious condition.
Initially, the case was initiated under the article on murder in a generally dangerous way, but now it has been reclassified as an article on a terrorist attack.
The Investigative Committee believes that Daria Trepova, who was detained in connection with the explosion in a St. Petersburg cafe, was led from Ukraine.
The explosion occurred on April 2 in a cafe in the center of St. Petersburg. As a result, military correspondent Maxim Fomin, known under the pseudonym Vladlen Tatarsky, died. In addition, 33 people received injuries of varying severity. Eight people are known to be in critical condition.
Darya Trepova was detained on suspicion of committing a crime.
“The investigation has evidence that the planning and organization of the committed crime were carried out from the territory of Ukraine. At the same time, Daria Trepova, who holds opposition views, is a supporter of the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK, the organization is recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation, it is also recognized as a foreign agent – ed. ed.),” the Investigative Committee reported.
Telegram channels SHOT and Caution News write that Daria could have been recruited by Ukrainian journalist Roman Popkov, a former member of the NBP banned in Russia, and now an ally of radical oppositionist Ilya Ponomarev (included in the list of foreign agents, also included in the list of persons and organizations in respect of which there is information about their involvement in extremist activities or terrorism – ed. ed.). Popkov himself denies everything, noting that he has close relatives in Russia.
The explosive, as is known, was in a gilded plaster bust, which the girl handed over to Tatarsky. SHOT writes that the girl brought the bust to St. Petersburg by car a few days ago, suggesting that there is a wiretap inside. According to the publication, Daria told investigators that she was given the task of getting close to Tatarsky in order to recruit him in the future, and then the bust was handed over to her.
