A man was injured on the morning of this Tuesday due to the explosion of a suspected grenade while he was performing cleaning and clearing work in a green area of the Montecarlo neighborhood in Camagüey.
The incident occurred next to the 12-story building where electric services are paid, according to journalist José Luis Tan Estrada.
According to a close source cited by the reporter, the victim lost several fingers from their hand due to the explosion and was immediately taken to the hospital for medical attention. No further official details have been provided about their clinical progress.
After the explosion, the area was cordoned off and there was a strong police presence. Estrada emphasized that the information was verified with multiple sources before publication, and that residents of the area later confirmed what had occurred, in line with his professional practice of prior data verification.
So far, no official conclusions have been released regarding the origin of the device or any potential responsible parties. Authorities are continuing their investigation to clarify the events and determine the necessary actions to take.
In the comments section, forum users pointed to the explosion of a possible firecracker, rather than a grenade.
"Wouldn't it be a firecracker? Because a grenade disintegrates and releases the shrapnel, and believe me, they would still be looking for the fragments r and part of the building; that was another detonating device," one pointed out. "Yes, it was a firecracker, that's what the police said," responded an internet user.
All the neighbors in the neighborhood agree that, indeed, an explosion did occur, even though the device has not been confirmed.
Recently, a powerful explosion was reported in the municipality of Camajuaní, in the province of Villa Clara, after a fireworks warehouse located in the Los Chivos neighborhood suffered a disaster of significant proportions.
The explosion caused a column of black smoke visible from several kilometers away and triggered a fire that also affects some nearby homes, prompting residents to evacuate due to the risk of the flames spreading.
