The count of victims of the bus explosion in Volgograd has 14 children. Of them, 12 are in the hospital. This was reported by an official from the emergency services of the region. There are many students among the victims. The "Caucasian Knot" correspondent has learnt about it from eyewitnesses.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on October 21, in the Krasnoarmeisky District of Volgograd, an explosion occurred in the bus. According to the preliminary information, the suicide bombing was committed by Naida Asiyalova, a 30-year-old native of Dagestan. The explosion killed seven persons, including the suicide bomber.

At the time of the explosion, there were a large number of children in the bus, who were returning from school. This was reported by an official from the emergency services of the Volgograd Region. The official has added that three victims are in very serious condition, including the bus conductor her both legs had to be amputated.

"The bus that was blown up was on the route 'VolGU-Yubileiny'. There were a lot of students in the bus. An ambulance immediately came from the Kirov District. A male doctor asked people to help him, since he along had to run to help numerous victims. Sometimes he asked people to hold a medicine dropper, and sometimes to help someone. A torn-off arm lied in the burnt bus, people got terrible injuries, and the picture was horrible. I've seen about four dead bodies. Rescuers helped man out of the bus, and he was almost deprived of his leg. People were burnt, and they got pieces of their skin hanging. Later, an ambulance from the Krasnoarmeisky District arrived, and there were enough number of doctors," said Viktor Akhmetshin, a resident of the Svetloyarsky District of the Volgograd Region, who drove by the blown-up bus in a car.
