Adam Kadyrov, son of Chechnya head Ramzan Kadyrov, was hospitalized in serious condition at the First Republican Hospital in Grozny after a traffic accident involving his convoy over the past 90 minutes ending at 11:46 PM UTC on January 16, 2026, according to the Chechen opposition Telegram channel NIYSO and two sources cited by Kavkaz.Realii. NIYSO stated the convoy was moving at high speed when it encountered an obstacle, resulting in multiple casualties. Roads to the hospital are closed, Grozny is partially blocked, and the hospital has been sealed off, the sources reported. An image circulating online purporting to show the crash was debunked by @Maks_NAFO_FELLA as originating from a 2022 car accident in Saratov, Russia, unrelated to the incident. In related Russian developments during this period, network reports cited by БЛИСКАВКА detailed a fire at Voskresensk Mineral Fertilizers, a major chemical plant near Moscow producing components for Russian military explosives and aviation maintenance. This follows an earlier blaze reported at the same facility prior to 10:16 PM UTC.
