According to Baza, a Russian Telegram channel that regularly posts information about security issues within the country, the explosion occurred at a cultural center re-purposed to house mobilized troops.

Baza said the man who caused the blast “picked up an RGD-5 grenade in order to establish authority over his troops.” Authorize
