Allegedly, they didn't even bomb military barracks full of soldiers, in the hope that these soldiers would go over to the Russian side. Some also claimed that it was because mass casualties would not be acceptable to public opinion in Russia - the attack itself was a shock to many who regarded Little Russians as a brother people.
Or that could just be simple cover for incompetence, which I consider most likely.
