A New Year party at a kindergarten went seriously wrong after multiple fireworks began to simultaneously explode, lighting up the entire venue and creating panic among scared parents.

Spectacular footage emerged online, showing kids dressed in red Santa Claus outfits watching the show with their parents. Seconds later, the fireworks started to combust, producing bright flares and noises like bomb blasts.

The hall quickly lights up red and yellow, and some parents can be heard screaming as they try to protect their ears. Others attempt to stand up and escape, at which point the video ends.

The location of the incident is unclear, although media outlets suggested the backfiring pyrotechnic show took place in Kazakhstan. There have been no immediate reports of injuries. The country’s Interior Ministry has promised to investigate the footage but said that no such incident had been recorded in Kazakhstan.
