KERETSKY, UKRAINE – A shocking incident unfolded in the Ukrainian village of Keretsky, near the Hungarian border, when an unidentified man disrupted a local community meeting by hurling several grenades, resulting in over two dozen injuries.
The incident occurred on a Friday morning, turning a peaceful gathering into a scene of chaos and devastation. The village, a blend of Ukrainian and Hungarian cultures, was left reeling as 26 people were injured, six of whom suffered severe injuries, as confirmed by local law enforcement.
The assailant, whose identity remains unknown, entered the meeting with his hands concealed in his pockets. Surveillance video shows him blending into the crowd for several moments before revealing his deadly intent. The footage captures the moment he produced the grenades, causing visible shock among the attendees.
As the man tossed the grenades onto the floor, the room erupted into chaos. The video feed, being broadcasted live on Facebook, shook violently as the explosions sent debris flying across the room.
The ease with which the attacker obtained the grenades raises questions about the widespread availability of weapons in Ukraine, a country currently bolstering its defenses against potential Russian aggression.
Investigators are diligently working with eyewitnesses to piece together the details of the attack. It remains unclear whether this act of terror is linked to the ongoing tension with Russia.
