Currently, 11 people are in medical institutions. Six law enforcement officers are in serious condition.
“Police officers go out on calls daily and nightly, not knowing what awaits them. But they rush to help, because protecting people is their main task.

When a second patrol police crew arrived at the scene of the terrorist attack, another explosion occurred.
