In Nizhny Novgorod, the culprit was found for a fire in a shopping center, due to which 500 people were evacuated.
According to the data of the regional interior ministry, the arson was started by a ten-year-old boy who came to the playroom with his grandmother: during the game he found a lighter and wondered if the sports mattress would catch fire.
"When he saw the fire and smoke, the boy tried to put it out on his own, but soon got scared and ran to his grandmother without telling her anything. When others noticed the fire, the grandmother and grandson left the play area," the police said. A report was made against the child's parents, and a preventive conversation was held with the child himself.
