It is reported that on April 28, at about 22 p.m., an ambulance delivered a 6-year-old resident of the village of Shpanov, Rivne district, to the hospital. After undergoing an X-ray, doctors discovered a foreign body similar to a bullet.

According to the sanction of the article, the attacker faces punishment in the form of community service for up to 200 hours, or correctional labor for up to two years, or restriction of freedom for up to two years.
According to doctors, the boy was immediately operated on. The child has now been transferred to the trauma department of the medical institution; his life is not in danger. Investigative actions are ongoing.
