Damage was also recorded in buildings on Minskaya Street. Footage from the scene shows the aftermath near at least two high-rise buildings.

In comments addressed to Kaluga Region Governor Vladislav Shapsha, local residents complained that the explosions occurred without any warning of an air raid. One resident of the damaged building reported that the blast wave shattered the windows in her apartment. The comment was later deleted.
