A tragic event unfolded in the Mykolaiv region as an eleven-year-old girl drowned.

This information was confirmed by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.

The incident took place in a village of the Ingul community. Two girls born in 2013 went swimming in the Ingul River, and one of them began to drown.
