I think the guy tossing the grenades is dead. Looks like the 3 one that went off, he was holding.

Apparently it was a soldier who recently returned, and had head injuries and asked for help. At the time, the council was debating on the mayors salary and 2024 budget.

Edit: the soldier part is not confirmed, but the topic of conversation is correct.

I'd argue it did do "grenadie stuff", as quite a few people are wounded. Remember, they don't only cause death, IMO death would be a bonus.

Living in a country "at war", don't recognize a threat, don't recognize grenades, don't react at all.

People obviously living comfortable lives and never have had a thought in their mind about how to react.

THIS is why everyone should "wargame" scenarios and put a plan of action thought in the back of your mind for a rainy day.
A whole lot of WTF going on.

Batryn had opposed a proposal to allocate a 50% raise and a monthly bonus for Mushka during the war, and had voted against deeming the village chief’s job performance satisfactory.

At the height of the budget debate, Batryn walked out of the council headquarters and then returned less then 3 minutes later to detonate the grenades.

This was about 400 miles from the nearest line of contact, and the guy was familiar too these people. Just before he was debating and left the room.

Now the NY Post (linked above) is reporting that he might still be alive:

Batryn was initially said to have been killed, but police later clarified that doctors were trying to save his life.

Wow, three grenades in a small room and nobody died?  I mean, tossing a grenade is one of the most anticlimactic things I've done after growing up watching '80s action movies (with huge fireball and vehicles being launched into the sky), but still, you'd have expected some deaths in that confined space.  He'd have saved more lives if he'd taken out zelenski instead.

I bet those grenades are not as potent as American fragmentation grenades. I don't know what they were but I just don't see three American fragmentation grenades going off in that room and nobody dying.
