The surviving Boston Marathon bomber is now able to speak and has called his mother in Russia, according to a new report.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, called his mother from the medical facility at Devens, where he’s being held, Bloomberg reported.

In the six-minute phone call, the blast fiend reportedly told his mom, “I am absolutely fine, my wounds are healing. Everything is in God’s hands. Be patient. Everything will be fine.”

His mother says she’s been promised one call a month.

“I couldn’t stop myself from crying,” Zubeidat Tsarnaev told Bloomberg.

“Mentally he is normal but the child is shocked,” Tsarnaeva said. “It was really hard to hear him and for him to hear me. The conversation was very quiet. It was my child, I know he is locked up like a dog, like an animal.”

Tsarnaev was wounded during the battle with police in Watertown after killing three and maiming hundreds in twin blasts at the Boston Marathon on April 15. His brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev died following the gunfight.

Tsarnaev faces the death penalty if he’s convicted.
