Hand grenade attack at Ukrainian village council meeting leaves 26 injured: Shock and tension in the region
A village councillor in western Ukraine unleashed chaos at a meeting by throwing hand grenades, injuring 26 people. The motive is unknown, and the incident is being investigated.
A shocking incident occurred at the headquarters of the village council of Keretsky in western Ukraine, where a village councillor threw hand grenades during a meeting, injuring 26 people. The man, dressed in black, entered the meeting during a heated discussion and pulled out three hand grenades from his pockets, releasing the safety pins and dropping them on the floor, causing explosions and panic among those present at the meeting. Six of the wounded individuals are in critical condition, and medics are working tirelessly to save lives. The attacker himself was also injured and taken to a hospital in serious condition.
The motive for the attack is yet to be determined, and the Ukrainian security service will investigate the incident as a possible terrorist attack. The meeting was being livestreamed on Facebook at the time of the attack, and it was revealed that the councillors had been discussing the village's budget and financial results, as well as voting on awarding the council chief a bonus. The village of Keretsky is located near the Hungarian border and has a population of around 4,000 people.
The ongoing conflict with Russia has led to many Ukrainians having access to weaponry, but there is no evidence as to whether the attack was related to the conflict. The incident has left the community in shock and serves as a reminder of the volatility and tension in the region. The police are working diligently to ensure that the attacker is brought to justice and that the wounded individuals receive the necessary care and support.
