In the Glubok district, a firecracker exploded in the hand of a 9-year-old boy

On the evening of November 8, an accident occurred in one in the Glubok district. Two brothers (9 and 11 years old) found hidden firecrackers in the closet. The youngest of them decided to look at them and set one of them on fire with a lighter. This is reported by the Investigative Committee.

An attempt to extinguish the firecracker on its own was unsuccessful, and the child tried to take it outside. However, on the street, a firecracker exploded in his hand, causing him injuries and burns. As a result, the student was hospitalized.

An investigative team worked at the scene. The investigator conducted an examination, interviewed witnesses and ordered a forensic examination.

It was previously established that parents bought pyrotechnics for the New Year at the request of the children. The length of the exploded firecracker was about 12 centimeters.

All the circumstances of the incident, including the causes and conditions that led to the injuries of the child, will be clarified during the check.
