The number of children killed in the gas explosion in the village of Nizhniy Dzhengutai has increased

Another child injured in a gas explosion in Dagestan's Buinaksk District has died in hospital, bringing the death toll from the incident to three.

As "Kavkazsky Uzel" reported, the tragic incident in the village of Nizhny Dzheguntay in the Buinaksk District, where a mother and four children were burned in a gas explosion, was reported on June 23 by the head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov. Two of the injured children died. Melikov promised financial assistance to the family, citing the violation of safety rules when connecting gas equipment as the cause of the incident.

A representative of the Dagestan Ministry of Health reported the death of the child, who was being treated at the burn center of the Republican Clinical Hospital.

“One of the injured boys has died; despite all the efforts of doctors, he could not be saved,” Interfax-Yug quotes the department employee as saying.

The official noted that the second of the injured boys and his mother are in extremely serious condition and are connected to a ventilator. The two children who died earlier, girls aged 1.5 and 6, died in the hospital shortly after the fire, which occurred on the evening of June 22.
