Bowler Throws Grenade Instead of Ball in Ukraine, 2 Injured
KIEV, Ukraine — Mar 13, 2015, 8:37 AM ET
Two people have been injured while bowling in a rebel-controlled area of east Ukraine after a player rolled a grenade instead of a ball.
A separatist-run news agency cited emergency services official Sergei Ivanushkin as saying Friday that the separatist-held parts of Luhansk region have seen a spate of accidents recently because of careless use of explosives. Ivanushkin said a man and woman were hospitalized after Thursday's incident.
The blast occurred at a "cheburechnaya" — a restaurant serving fried pastries — that also offered duckpin bowling, which uses a ball without holes on a relatively short lane.
East Ukraine has been wracked by war for almost a year, during which time the region has become flooded with small arms and grenades.
