In Bashkiria, a troubling incident involving an air gun drew attention after a Telegram channel reported it as Mash Batash.
Officials described a 10-year-old boy from Buraevo who took an air gun from his father to practice shooting with a friend. One boy set up a target while the other loaded the gun and unintentionally pulled the trigger. The bullet struck the first boy near the temple, fracturing his skull in the process.
The injured child was first taken to a regional hospital. Concern for his safety led clinicians to transfer him to the regional capital for more specialized care. In Ufa, surgeons successfully removed the lodged bullet, performed a complex procedure, and the child’s life was saved, according to the reporting source.
Initial reports indicated the bullet fractured on impact and penetrated the child’s brain. He is currently in the recovery phase as medical teams continue to monitor his progress.
