Hvað gerðist
Late on the evening of September 26, a grenade exploded on Taras Shevchenko Avenue in the city of Sheptytskyi, Lviv Oblast. Four people were injured in the blast: three women aged 17, 18, and 56, and a 26-year-old man, all of them local residents. They suffered shrapnel wounds and were taken to hospital; police said there is no threat to their lives. Investigators from an operational group, explosives technicians, and other police services worked at the scene, and the report was initially received through the 102 police hotline. Police identified the person who detonated the grenade as a 36-year-old resident of Sheptytskyi district who, according to the police account, carried out the act during a conflict with passersby. He is a military serviceman who was on leave at the time of the incident. Officers located and detained him under Article 208 of Ukraine's Criminal Procedure Code, and investigators opened proceedings under Part 4 of Article 296 of the Criminal Code — hooliganism involving the use of a weapon or other item specially adapted or pre-prepared for inflicting bodily harm — which carries a sentence of three to seven years' imprisonment. A court was expected to choose a preventive measure in the near future; pre-trial investigation is ongoing.

All the supplied reporting comes from Ukrainian outlets writing in Ukrainian, and they uniformly centre the official police account: the serviceman on leave, the four civilian victims and their ages, the criminal charge under Part 4 of Article 296, and the ongoing pre-trial investigation. Several Ukrainian reports explicitly flag the serviceman's status and in some cases raise the prior July episode, emphasising the public-safety and weapons-control dimension of the story.
