A child injured in an explosion found on the street of a household appliance in the Trans-Baikal Territory, he lost his hand, writes Baza.

Previously it was reported that a local resident working as a watchman found an ownerless coffee grinder in a bag near his house and decided to bring it home. When the watchman's son wanted to check the device and turned it on, there was an explosion. The eighth-grader received multiple shrapnel wounds; at the hospital, doctors had to amputate one of his hands.

The victim’s mother told Baza that the family had no ill-wishers, but recently there was one conflict. According to the woman, the family bought the house, but later the seller said that he was allegedly underpaid by 300 thousand rubles and began to threaten.

A criminal case has been opened for attempted murder, Baza indicates.
