26 injured: Ukrainian local council detonates hand grenades during meeting

26 people were injured, the police announced on Friday. The incident occurred in the morning at a local council meeting in the town of Kerezky in the western Zakarpattia region.

Footage released by authorities shows a man entering a small room where several people were already discussing heatedly. He then pulls three hand grenades from his pockets, releases the safety pins and lets them fall to the ground. Several explosions and screams can then be heard before the video ends.

Access to weapons made easier

The authorities did not initially give a motive for the man. Since the start of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine in February 2022, many Ukrainians have had access to weapons.
