In Sakhalin, a five-year-old girl sustained injuries on a playground because the sports equipment was not secured properly. This update was shared on the Telegram channel of the Investigative Committee of Russia.
Officials from the ministry indicated that the incident took place in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, where a young girl was hurt on a playground. The damage occurred due to an improper fastening of the exercise equipment, which suggests a lapse in maintenance or oversight at the site.
Regional investigative authorities have opened a probe into the case. Alexander Bastrykin, the chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia, has directed the responsible unit to submit a report detailing the progress of the audit. At the moment, there is no public update on the child’s medical condition or prognosis.
Earlier, a separate incident in Dagestan involved a child who lost control and fell from a cliff estimated at about 200 meters in height, resulting in a coma. In another event, a seven-year-old slipped and fell from a height while playing; a grandmother nearby managed to catch another child who was at risk of a similar fall. These episodes illustrate a broader concern about child safety in various environments across the region.
In another alarming case, a student who was just a sophomore reportedly sustained injuries after being exposed to hazardous conditions inside a transformer cabinet in St. Petersburg. He was promptly transported to intensive care, underscoring the potential dangers presented by malfunctioning electrical infrastructure and the importance of strict safety standards in urban settings.
