A special aircraft of the Russian Federal Medical-Biological Agency (FMBA) was sent from Moscow to Volgograd to take another victim of the terror acts committed in Volgograd on the eve of the New Year for treatment in Moscow, the regional government has reported.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the previous FMBA aircraft flight from Volgograd to Moscow was undertaken on January 4. It was supposed to pick up three patients, but in fact it took only two. In total, the treatment in Moscow is now provided to 22 victims of the terror acts committed in Volgograd on December 29 at the railway station and on December 30 in a trolleybus.

The "Interfax" reports, citing its source in the regional government, that another grave patient is planned for transportation.

Currently, nine people injured in the terror acts have been discharged from Volgograd hospitals, the website of the regional government quotes Vice-Governor Sergey Bozhenov as saying. In total, 39 patients continue their inpatient treatment in hospitals of Volgograd, Volzhskiy and Elan. The condition of two of them is assessed as grave, of one – as moderate, and of the rest of them - as satisfactory.
