A tragic incident has occurred in a dormitory in the city of Kramatorsk, which has shaken the local community and frightened the parents and relatives of young residents
According to preliminary information, on the evening of June 13, a powerful night explosion took place in the residential area, resulting in the death of one child and leaving two others in serious condition. This sad news has sparked a wave of sympathy and concern among city residents and official authorities. As reported by the Donetsk regional police, the tragedy happened around 4:00 PM in one of the dormitories located in the industrial part of Kramatorsk. According to initial investigation data, at that time, two brothers aged 13 and 15 were in a room with their acquaintance when an explosion of an unknown object occurred. Details are still being clarified; however, law enforcement officials have already stated that it is likely an explosive device detonated. The explosion triggered a large-scale humanitarian crisis: children with numerous shrapnel wounds and fractures were urgently transported to medical facilities in the city. Unfortunately, the 15-year-old boy could not be saved; he died at the emergency hospital within a few hours of the tragedy. The other 13-year-old brother and another 15-year-old boy are fighting for their lives in intensive care — their condition remains critical. Additionally, a 6-year-old boy was brought to the emergency room; at the time of the explosion, he was just outside the window of the room. The child received cuts and bruises, with no danger to his life, though his injuries have also been examined by doctors for further assessment. Law enforcement has already initiated a criminal case under articles that prescribe responsibility for safety violations and negligence resulting in death and serious bodily injuries. A comprehensive pre-trial investigation is underway, during which investigators are attempting to clarify all circumstances of the event, as well as identify and locate the person or persons responsible for preparing and detonating the potentially dangerous device. Currently, the investigation is collaborating with specialists in explosives and forensic science to determine the exact causes of the explosion and its mechanism. At the same time, local residents express their concern and outrage: most of the population has not previously encountered such tragedies in their city, so this incident has caused significant public resonance. The parents of the affected children insist on a thorough investigation and taking measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. Local authorities and law enforcement urge residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious objects or situations. It is expected that clarifying the circumstances of this tragic event will help prevent similar cases in the future and shed light on the details of the incident. All circumstances of the tragedy are being clarified, and residents hope for a swift establishment of the truth and holding those responsible accountable.
