In the village of Snovydovychi, a 13-year-old boy was buried under sand at the local landfill, resulting in his death. This was reported by the police of the Rivne region on Saturday, November 23.
The tragedy occurred on Saturday, November 23, around 4 PM in the village of Snovydovychi within the Rokytne territorial community. A sand slide happened at the local landfill while three children were present.
“At that moment, a slide occurred and the 13-year-old was buried. His 12-year-old brother immediately ran to the village to inform adults about the incident, while a 14-year-old friend began digging out the sand by himself,” the police reported.
Local residents managed to retrieve the child and attempted resuscitation measures, but unfortunately, they could not save him.
The police noted that a pre-trial investigation is currently underway.
It is worth mentioning that on November 20, a fire broke out in a residential building in the village of Pevzhа in the Dubno district. While the owner was cooking in the summer kitchen, her three young sons were in a smoke-filled room and suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning. Despite resuscitation efforts, their lives could not be saved.
