Local officials updated the number of those wounded by an explosion at a cafe in St. Petersburg on Sunday, saying 25 people were hurt and 19 of them have been hospitalized, SİA reports citing CNN.
The city's governor, Alexander Beglov, shared the update in a Telegram post Sunday evening local time.
"All emergency and special services of the city are currently activated in connection with what happened in a cafe on Vasilyevsky Island," Beglov said, referring to the island that makes up a significant portion of the city center. "We work in coordination with law enforcement agencies. They are trying to establish the circumstances of what happened."
The explosion killed Russian military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky, according to Russian state news agency TASS and local authorities.
One of the country's several prominent online commentators on the war in Ukraine, Tatarsky was at times critical of the Russian military's setbacks in Ukraine.
"Unfortunately 1 person died. There are currently 25 victims. 19 of them are hospitalized. City hospitals are providing all the necessary assistance," Beglov wrote.
