The incident occurred on Jalan Kromosari, Ngadiluwih District, Kediri Regency, Sunday (24/4) morning, which befell DA (9). DA suffered injuries to his fingers due to the explosion of firecrackers.

The victim initially left the house riding a wind bicycle without saying goodbye to his parents to go for a walk after eating sahur. On Jalan Kromosari entering Banjarejo Village, Ngadiluwih District, the victim was seeing someone setting off firecrackers.

The firecrackers, after being lit, did not explode. Then by the victim, the firecracker was kicked and then taken with the right hand. However, when the firecrackers were taken, they exploded. As a result of this incident, the victim suffered injuries to his right hand.
