The blasts struck a series of locations in the city center. Local authorities have begun a terrorist investigation into the incident. The first explosion went off as a crowded tram pulled into a stop injuring five passengers. Local authorities say it was caused by a bomb planted in a nearby rubbish bin. “The explosion was at a tram stop. The shockwaves smashed the tram’s windows, and the doors buckled on two cars passing by. In one car, the airbags popped out. Police were there in a minute, fire fighters arrived in about five minutes,” writes Master_Tyre, a city web forum user. Forty minutes afterwards a second explosion was reported close to the city’s railway station, wounding seven while the third hit a park injuring one woman. There are no details on the fourth explosion. Local Ukrainian site vgorode.ua reports widespread panic in the city where people are afraid where the next explosion will occur.
