Timeline of Events

In the morning, the 9th-grade student arrived at school with a knife, a mask, and a helmet. During the lesson, he attacked the teacher and also injured a classmate who tried to protect her. Both victims were given assistance on-site and taken to the hospital. According to TCN, the teacher underwent surgery and her condition is serious.

During the attack, the boy put on a helmet and mask in the bathroom, then burst into the classroom. The 14-year-old classmate sustained serious injuries, while the teacher suffered stab wounds.

Status of the Victims and the Attacker

After the attack, the assailant hid in the bathroom and injured himself. He was detained and taken to the 'Okhmatdyt' hospital, where his classmate is also being treated. Both teenagers have undergone surgery, but their lives are not in danger. It turned out that the attacker is the son of a police officer, and his family moved to the capital from Dnipropetrovsk region.

Parents of the students who came to pick up their children from school describe the situation: teachers were ordered to close the classrooms and not release the students. Although classes were officially not canceled, lessons were not conducted. The school principal did not comment on the situation but noted that the attacker was not problematic.

Witnesses note that before the incident, the boy was quiet and did not conflict: 'There were screams, many people were walking around. The deputy had ordered to close the doors so that no one could leave.' The motives for the attack remain unclear, while students and parents deny the bullying version.

Circumstances of the Event

Law enforcement is working at the scene, interviewing witnesses and clarifying the circumstances of the attack. A criminal case has been opened for attempted intentional murder of two or more persons. The police also discovered correspondence with potential hostile intelligence services, and investigations are ongoing.

Psychologists will provide assistance to students and teachers, and local authorities are monitoring the situation. Preventive measures and recommendations for self-defense are planned in the capital's schools. Teachers urge parents to take more interest in their children's hobbies.

It should be noted that earlier it was reported that a bloody incident was committed by a 14-year-old ninth grader who attacked a teacher and a classmate. There were also discussions about the possible involvement of Russian intelligence services in this case, as suspicious contacts were found on the teenager's phone.
