Security Incident Reports Involving Grenades At Airports And Courier Points
Employees at Perm Bolshoye Savino airport uncovered a grenade among luggage. This information comes from a Telegram channel called Puree. The channel reports that an object resembling an F-1 hand grenade was detected inside a package in the airport cargo hold, described as having an introscope. In response, all airport staff were evacuated and the package was sent for review. The preliminary inspection concluded the object was a dummy device, not a live explosive.
During the same inspection, authorities noted that a live grenade and a cartridge with a pierced primer for a VOG-25 grenade launcher were located in the bottom portion of the package. Mash, a source cited by the channel, states that these items are undergoing tests to determine their explosive potential. [Note: safety assessment ongoing]
