Tragedy in Boryspil: Woman killed in dog attack
A difficult incident occurred in Boryspil, Ukraine, where a 79-year-old woman lost her life after being attacked by two Cane Corso dogs. According to reports gathered from law enforcement authorities, the dogs managed to escape from a nearby residence through a gate that was not properly closed, entered the victim's yard, and launched a brutal attack.
As reported by ✙ Київ Оперативний | Kyiv Operative ✙, the incident took place on June 19th around 15:40. Medical teams evacuated the woman to the hospital with severe injuries, but despite efforts to save her, she passed away as a result of the trauma she sustained. The ТСН новини / ТСН.ua channel updated that the owner of the dogs was arrested by the police, and the dogs were confiscated and transferred to a cynological center for investigation.
Many Telegram channels covered the case with shock, including Реальний Київ | Украина and Times of Ukraine, which emphasized that this is a case of negligence by the dog owners. Україна Online | Новини | Політика even linked the case to another severe incident in Dnipro, where a girl underwent a leg amputation after a dog attack, and raised a pointed public question: "Perhaps it is time to toughen penalties for such owners?".
The case sparked an uproar on social media, with channels such as Київ Головне describing it as a "real fear" (cynophobia) among residents of the area.
