The weapon did not detonate despite being active.
The Guardian the team of sappers neutralized the munition in what he described as a medical procedure that would “go down in medical textbooks.”
Gerashchenko wrote in a Telegram update early on Thursday: “The unexploded part of the grenade was taken from under the heart. The grenade did not explode, but remained explosive.”He further cited Yevgenia Slivko, communications adviser to the commander of the medical forces in Ukraine’s military, who noted that the patient was believed to be about 28 years old.
“There have never been such operations in the practice of our doctors. Similar was during the war in Afghanistan. About the current patient, I can say that he was born in 1994, now he is sent for rehabilitation, his condition is stable. I think this case will go down in medical textbooks,” Gerashchenko concluded.The surgery is indeed very unique as a quick search on the internet will show that no other similar procedures have been undertaken.
