I think the reactor bombings killed innocent people and regular workers, not just Shinra militants. As terrorists typically do.

Could be wrong on this, but as I understand it:

In original FF7, only the reactors blow up, with relatively minimal collateral damage. There may be some civilian casualty from power loss, but it's unclear.

In Remake, the Avalanche bomb is a dud entirely, and Shinra had a much bigger bomb in place that they detonated with extensive collateral damage, as a deliberate false flag. Additionally, in Intergrade, Barret's faction is explained as labeled as a splinter cell that was cut off from the main Avalanche group for being too extremist.

Either way, the party murks plenty of Shinra grunts.
