An unidentified person set fire to a car in Togliatti using a Molotov cocktail. A girl was injured while attempting to remove the burning object from the vehicle, and the incident is being circulated with a video that Telegram channel ChP Togliatti published to illustrate what happened. The footage shows a man dressed in dark clothing approaching a white sedan parked on the roadside and lighting a container filled with flammable liquid on its hood before fleeing the scene. Moments later, the girl rushes back to the car and hurls the burning object to the ground, while fuel splashes onto her back. The extent of her injuries was not disclosed in the reports available at the time.
The arson occurred in the neighborhood near Mira Street number 122. Onlookers attempted to extinguish the flames by dousing the car hood with snow as the incident unfolded. The report originated from the Togliatti public page on the VKontakte social network, where residents were discussing the event and sharing updates as details emerged.
Separately, an accident involving a truck in Moscow in the early hours led to two cars catching fire, illustrating a broader pattern of vehicle fires reported around the region during the same period.
