The incident resulted in two children sustaining minor physical injuries. A team of investigators and juvenile police officers arrived at the scene and are conducting an inspection. This event highlights ongoing safety challenges in Ukrainian educational facilities during wartime.

Law enforcement officials are currently determining the legal classification of the event and the potential for opening criminal proceedings. Information about the blast appeared on social networks on the same day it happened.

Other Incidents and School Safety Concerns

This is not an isolated case, as a previous incident involving pyrotechnics occurred at a school in the capital. On that occasion, a student threw a training grenade, which detonated inside the educational institution, though no one was injured in the explosion. The blast in the capital happened under a staircase, prompting specialists from the explosives service and an investigative team from the Solomianskyi district police department to respond.

Both incidents have raised serious concerns about safety in educational institutions and the use of dangerous items during the school day. Police continue their investigations to clarify all the circumstances surrounding the events.

"The explosions that have occurred in educational institutions underscore the necessity of strengthening security measures in schools and lyceums, as well as the importance of properly instructing students on the safe handling of items that could pose a threat."

Relevant authorities are expected to analyze the situation and implement measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
