In the Kara-Suu region of Kyrgyzstan, a student accidentally fired an air rifle at his brother, injuring him in the abdomen. The incident was reported on the Telegram channel Sputnik Kyrgyzstan.
The event unfolded near Padavan village, where a father and his two sons, aged six and twelve, were guarding a field. The father had given the elder boy the air rifle to protect against stray dogs.
At one point the teenager fired toward his younger brother, and the bullet struck the younger boy in the abdomen. The father drove the injured child to a hospital himself. Medical examinations revealed a foreign object lodged in the abdominal cavity, the child underwent surgery, and he remained under medical supervision with no immediate threat to life or health.
Earlier in Ingushetia, a father reportedly shot at his sons in the garden of their home. The elder son was seriously injured, and his health deteriorated in the days that followed. The man said he accidentally injured his son while cleaning a shotgun.
In Yakutia, a separate incident involved a young man who accidentally shot a schoolboy in the head.
