The first one struck the square in front of the building and the second one hit the building itself. The man later sent the coordinates of a number of other locations in the city, which were then targeted by Russian forces. He also spread Russian propaganda on social media and denied the existence of Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine.  

During a search of his apartment, law enforcement also found an illegally-purchased gun, as well as the computer he used for communication with his contacts in Russia.
