Teenagers wounded in South Ossetia sent to Vladikavkaz

The teenagers who were wounded by a shell explosion in Tskhinvali are in a grave condition. They were sent to North Ossetia to get their treatment.

In the morning on February 22, in a Tskhinvali suburb named "Shanghai", an explosion took place, which injured two teenagers. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of South Ossetia, "the explosion happened when the boys tried to transport an RPG-7 shell that remained from the last August war."

The victims were taken to Vladikavkaz, the capital of North Ossetia, in a specially equipped children's resuscitation ambulance van in the evening on February 22, as the "Komsomolskaya Pravda" writes.

Doctors of South Ossetia made a surgery on Azamat Kobesov: he had numerous fragmental wounds of his right wrist with damage of soft tissues. "Possibly, we'll have to amputate the wrist, although doctors do everything to save it," said Valentina Kudukhova, a resuscitator of the Republic's Somatic Hospital in Tskhinvali.

Both kids also have multiple plural fragmental face wounds, and Dzhabiev also has burns of both eyes, as the "Res" Information Agency reports.

On February 22, at a meeting in Tskhinvali with power ministers of South Ossetia, President Eduard Kokoity authorized the Ministry for Emergencies to demine the territory of South Ossetia.
