In Dnipro, during an air raid alert, teenagers managed to cause an explosion in one of the city's shelters. On the same day, children in the city decided to mimic online trends and scare residents with explosions. They were undeterred by the fact that there is a ban on the use of pyrotechnics in Ukraine.
Local Telegram channels report that it was most likely firecrackers. The published footage reveals that the explosion was quite loud.
Other Telegram channels mentioned that the incident occurred at European Square in the city center. As noted in the report, the teenagers might have been playing a new game called "Mole," which poses dangers among the youth.
They approached the door of the shelter, where people often sit during air raid alerts, and threw a mixture. After that, a loud explosion was heard, and a boy in a blue hoodie fled the scene.

In Dnipro and the surrounding area, the air raid alert is ongoing as of 21:15. Drones have been reported in the region.
Interestingly, the trend of "mole" explosions originated from, who would have thought, the social media platform TikTok, where a surge of videos showing their creation and detonation has emerged lately. Not everyone escapes unscathed; for instance, recently in Lviv, three children aged 10, 11, and 15 were hospitalized with serious facial burns.
Earlier, "Telegraph" reported that in one of the capital's schools, children invented the "best toy" — during recess, students were "playing in TCK and dodging."
