Early stories point out that Russian forces used an FAB-250 bomb fitted with a UMPK steerage package towards the civilian inhabitants.

The bomb struck a residential space, killing a 36-year-old girl and her three-year-old daughter on the spot. Her different daughter, 15, was taken to hospital with shrapnel wounds and a fractured hip. The household was on the playground when the assault occurred.
