Three other children were also hospitalized but are now in stable condition. The authorities found a significant quantity of fentanyl and drug-related materials at the location. This incident raises concerns about drug-related crimes in the city.

Meanwhile, in southern Ukraine, Russian forces are strengthening their defensive positions around Tokmak. It is believed that this action may be a response to tactical movements by the Ukrainian military. The escalating tensions in the region continue to fuel fears of an impending conflict.
