When the National Guard unit approached the trap set by the attackers, an explosion occurred, as a result of which one of them died and another was injured. A security guard of the construction site, who was nearby, was also injured. At the time when policemen and medics arrived at the scene, a second explosion took place, as a result of which two patrol policemen were injured. They are currently in the hospital,” Shumeiko said.
