Ukraine's Military Aide Killed by Birthday Grenade Gift
TL;DR Summary
A top aide to the commander of Ukraine's military, Maj. Hennadii Chastiakov, was killed in a tragic accident when a grenade given to him as a birthday gift exploded. Chastiakov's 13-year-old son was also injured in the incident. The officer was showing off the grenades to his family when his son accidentally twisted the ring of one, prompting Chastiakov to take it from him and trigger the explosion. This comes just days after a Russian missile struck a Ukrainian brigade ceremony, killing 19 soldiers. Investigations are underway in both incidents.
