Fire in a parking lot in Lyublino
On the night of November 8, a firecracker exploded on Tikhoretsky Boulevard in Moscow's Lyublino district, after which two parked cars caught fire — a Renault and a Belgee. According to witnesses, the firecracker was thrown by children; both vehicles, it is reported, burned out completely. The incident was reported by the Telegram channel 112, and Life.ru, citing REN-TV , confirmed the same circumstances. In essence, this is a retelling of the same event through eyewitness channels rather than independent confirmation: the publications contain no official data from the capital's emergency services or police.
A series of similar incidents
The publications recall recent firecracker cases. In Moscow, on Vatutina Street , a firecracker exploded in the hands of a 14-year-old teenager and caused a fire in an apartment — the boy suffered a hand injury, and neighbors called emergency services. In St. Petersburg, a 12-year-old schoolboy picked up a firecracker found on the street, which exploded in his palm; surgeons managed to save the child's hand. In both cases, children were injured, whereas in Lyublino, according to eyewitness reports, no victims are mentioned — only the cars burned.
What remains unknown
The publications do not say whether the children who threw the firecracker have been identified, whether a case has been opened, or whether the damage has been assessed. The exact time of the fire is also not specified. As long as information about the incident comes only from eyewitnesses via Telegram channels and television, conclusions about the cause of the fire should be treated with caution: formally, other sources of ignition cannot be ruled out, although both publications link it specifically to the firecracker explosion.
