In the official statement of law enforcement agencies published today, it is reported that a home -made bomb weighing 5 kg with an advanced clock mechanism was found in a car parked at the local hotel three hours before the explosion.
According to the leadership of the local police, the explosion of a mined machine in this overpopulated area of the city could lead to large human victims and significant destruction.
