4 Injured in Stun Grenade Accident at Moscow Region School
Regional prosecutors said they were investigating the incident, which took place in the city of Shchyolkovo, located northeast of Moscow.
Four individuals were injured following a stun grenade incident during a school safety drill in the Moscow region, as reported on Tuesday by health officials. The event occurred in Shchyolkovo, a city northeast of Moscow, though the exact circumstances surrounding the use of the live grenade during the drill remain unclear. According to the regional health ministry, three of those injured were swiftly transported to a hospital for observation.
However, it remains uncertain whether those affected were students or staff members. Unverified sources have suggested that all four individuals were teachers. In January, a similar incident at a police academy in Russia's Komi republic resulted in one fatality and numerous injuries due to a stun grenade mishap. The Moscow region's prosecutor's office is currently probing the incident, while the Russian Prosecutor General's Office has labeled The Moscow Times as an undesirable organization, impacting the newspaper's ability to function freely.
Despite these challenges, The Moscow Times remains committed to delivering impartial, accurate reporting on Russia.
