On the night of February 25, at approximately 22:03, the police received a report about a burning car parked near one of the houses in the Metallurgical district of Kryvyi Rih. Police officers and a team of rescuers from the State Emergency Service of Ukraine promptly arrived at the scene. This was reported by "Vідомо," citing the police of the Dnipropetrovsk region.
