The explosion at a cafe in St. Petersburg left a young girl injured, and authorities confirmed that she underwent surgery to remove shrapnel. Officials described her condition as stable, with doctors saying there is no immediate threat to her life. The information came from the city health committee’s press service and was later echoed by state media outlets.
An update from a local television channel indicated that the 14-year-old patient was in a moderate condition following the operation. Medical teams continue to monitor her recovery and provide updates as her situation evolves.
In other developments, remarks from a former prosecutor of St. Petersburg recalled the city’s recent high-profile tragedies, including the death of a veteran war correspondent during a separate incident. While the city mourns those lost, officials emphasize the ongoing needs of victims and their families, along with the responsibilities of emergency responders and health care staff in the aftermath of such events.
Telegram-based information outlet Baza stated that a resident of St. Petersburg, identified as Daria Trepova, had not been detained. The report also mentioned that Trepova was still in contact with her partner, Dmitry Rylov, as investigations proceed and authorities work to establish a clear timeline and set of circumstances surrounding the attack.
At the time of the incident on April 2, a gathering featuring a military official took place at the cafe when a blast occurred. The explosion resulted in the death of the journalist Vladlen Tatarsky and caused injuries to several attendees. Investigators have since been collecting evidence, interviewing witnesses, and reviewing surveillance footage to determine the sequence of events and any possible accomplices or motives behind the attack.
