“”My daughter called – crying, screaming, we have, she says, the fence was demolished, the glass flew out, the house is terrible. <…> I'm afraid – quickly go home. Thank God, everyone is alive,” she said .
According to her, those who were at home were severely deafened, her daughter's friend had a cut in her face, probably with glasses, and her daughter had blood behind her ear.
