The Health Ministry said 76 people had asked for medical assistance.
"Fourteen people suffered injuries of various degrees, 21 are in a state of shock," the ministry said.
Alexander Goryainov, head of Udmurtia's presidential administration and government, said most of injuries were cuts and bruises.
