According to him, three people were killed in the explosion, whereas three others were killed with automatic fire. 

Yet, adviser to the head of the Ministry for Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Anton Gerashchenko, said that Mozgovoi was killed by agents of the Russian Central Intelligence Directorate. According to Gerashchenko, Mozgovoi was killed because he did not want to obey orders from Moscow. 

Meanwhile, residents of the town of Alchevsk gathered for a rally to pay a minute of silence to the victims of the attack.
