According to Gontareva, attackers threw a bottle filled with petrol over the fence. Fortunately, no one was in the house and no one was hurt during the fire.

At the same time, Kyiv region's police consider arson as a possible theory of the incident. But the police do not rule out other theories, for example, careless handling of fire or a short circuit.
