This was reported to journalists by Valeria Chyrina, spokesperson for the Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor's Office, according to a Ukrinform correspondent.

"On the evening of October 10, a conflict broke out between three men in the city of Lozova. During the argument, a 48-year-old man took out what was probably an RGO hand grenade, activated it by removing the safety pin, and threw it at his opponents. The explosion injured a 39-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy. The 39-year-old victim died in the hospital," Chyrina said.

According to her, law enforcement officers detained the man who detonated the grenade.
