The authorities said that fortunately, the bystander was just hit by the tail of the weapon, the weapon itself was bounced and hit the roof of a house. It is reported that it is unclear whether the boy can assemble and launch device for his own weapons, and it is not clear whether the weapon was displayed in a battle state. It is understood that this type of weapon will be assembled before use, and once it is in a combat state, it will no longer have safety protection performance.

Local officials' claims on this incident are not consistent. Local prosecutors said the exhibition was organized by the local territorial defense agency to show its own weapons and equipment. Vyacheslav Chaus, the head of the local management department, explained that the source of "dangerous exhibits" is not clear, and the entire event is to provide "interactive experience" to children.

However, the local government parliament insisted that he did not know the event and stated that he had not provided a relevant permit for organizing the event. It is also reported that this event is a "fundraising event" organized by volunteers, aiming to purchase and combat vehicles for Ukraine forces.
