According to Russian media such as Channel 24 and Bechernyaya Moscow News, a man living near Moscow hit his pregnant wife in the stomach when the bullet bounced while shooting an air gun at the target from the back of his house.
The mother, who was 30 weeks pregnant, was rushed to the hospital for examination.
Medical staff said both the mother and fetus are not life-threatening, but the bullet, which is about 1cm long and 0.5cm wide, is embedded in the baby's body. Fortunately, it did not damage the organs of the fetus.
The removal surgery was decided to be performed immediately after the child was born.
After giving birth, the medical staff removed the bullet just below the newborn's abdominal skin.
According to the Moscow Regional Motherhood and Child Protection Center, both mothers and babies were discharged healthy.
Air guns, meanwhile, can be as dangerous as guns. Being hit by sensitive areas such as the eyes can lead to serious injury or death.
In addition, some bullets are made of lead, which can cause fatal lead poisoning if they stay in the body for a long time.
