The press quoted the Governor of the Bryansk Region Alexander Bogomaz, who in his Telegram channel wrote that four people were hurt.

Ukrainian press says “the attack was allegedly committed by the Ukrainian side”, which can mean that Ukraine does not confirm the information disseminated by the Russian press.
