A pupil brought a training grenade to a school in Vinnytsia. When it went off, two teenagers had to seek medical attention.

This was reported by the Vinnytsia Regional Police.

It is understood that at around 8.30 am, an eighth-year pupil brought a training grenade to school and left it on a desk. Two other pupils decided to pick up the grenade — at which point it detonated.
