In Poltava, the police detained a 33-year-old man who detonated a grenade on Mykhailo Hrushevskyi Street in the afternoon of January 2.
This was reported to the GUNP in the Poltava region.
The explosion occurred around 1:00 PM in a residential area, causing panic among passers-by and damaging several cars parked nearby. Thanks to the prompt response of the law enforcement officers, the intruder, who turned out to be a local resident born in 1990, was detained at the scene within a few minutes.
Fortunately, none of the citizens were injured as a result of the incident, but the blast wave and shrapnel caused considerable material damage to the owners of the vehicles. Police investigators of the Poltava Region have started criminal proceedings under the articles of hooliganism with the use of weapons and illegal handling of ammunition. Currently, the person involved is in a temporary detention center, and law enforcement officers are establishing the origin of the grenade and the motives of the man’s act.
This event became another case of dangerous handling of weapons in the region: several similar incidents were recorded in Poltava Oblast in December alone, including the detonation of a grenade during a family quarrel in the Kremenchutsk district and an attempted murder in the Opishnyan community. Due to the systematic nature of such crimes, the police call on citizens to be vigilant and immediately report suspicious persons with dangerous objects.
We will remind, in a Kyiv school, a student blew up an airsoft grenade for the sake of likes.
Also in Kyiv, an unknown person detonated a grenade in the “DREAM yellow” shopping center.
