Quote from a source: "The roads to the hospital are closed because Adam has been brought there. He is in intensive care and unconscious, as we are told. What exactly happened to Kadyrov's son, we do not know for certain."

Details: Another source, a member of the diaspora, provided similar information.

According to NIYSO, Adam Kadyrov's motorcade "was moving at high speed, car after car, when it suddenly encountered an obstacle". "As a result, the cars started crashing into each other, so we are receiving reports that there are casualties, but the commotion is mainly because of Adam."

The opposition channel claims that the younger Kadyrov is in intensive care and is being prepared for transfer to Moscow.

Background:

Eighteen-year-old Adam Kadyrov is one of the most well-known children of Chechnya's leader Ramzan Kadyrov.
In October 2023, Kadyrov awarded his then 15-year-old son Adam the title of Hero of the Chechen Republic after a video appeared online showing Adam Kadyrov beating 19-year-old Ukrainian Mykyta Zhuravel in Grozny pre-trial detention for allegedly burning a Quran. Kadyrov said he was proud of his son's actions.
Since then, Adam Kadyrov has received various awards and held several high positions in Chechnya, including secretary of the Chechen Security Council and overseer of the republican Ministry of Internal Affairs.
On the eve of the New Year 2026, media reported that Ramzan Kadyrov was hospitalised in Moscow, although this has not been officially confirmed.
