- A soldier is lucky to be alive after a live grenade was lodged in his torso during a bloody battle in Bakhmut, Ukraine — and had to have it surgically removed.
- Ukrainian surgeon Major General Andrii Verba had to perform the surgery knowing the grenade could detonate at any second.
- “Our military doctors performed an operation to remove an unexploded VOG grenade from the body of a serviceman,” confirmed regional governor Serhii Borzov in a Facebook post Monday night.
