The list of casualties provided by Russia’s Ministry of Emergency Situations was not complete as of press time: 14 out of 39 victims are not identified.

Two Armenians were among the 82 hospitalized with injuries; they are Hasmik Martirisyan, 18, and Anna Porkashyan, 55. Both are said to be doing well according to Gevorg Minasyan, press secretary of the Armenian Embassy to Russia.
