On the same day in Odesa, a 52-year-old man died after a grenade he was holding exploded inside his apartment, police said. His wife and a friend were nearby at the time but were not harmed.
On July 12 in Mykhailivka-Rubezhivka, a village in the Kyiv region, a 42-year-old man summoned police on a domestic violence complaint and then threw a combat grenade toward the officers when they arrived. The police opened fire in response, killing the man at the scene.
