In recent weeks, Sweden has seen a troubling rise in the use of hand grenades, with police reporting multiple incidents involving these explosive devices.

Experts suggest that the grenades are likely sourced from the Balkan region, raising concerns about their accessibility among criminal groups.

Despite a law enacted in 2017 allowing customs authorities to seize explosives, only two live hand grenades have been confiscated in seven years.

Alarmingly, hand grenades have even been discovered in the bedrooms of teenage girls, highlighting the alarming spread of these weapons.

Authorities are increasingly worried about the potential for mass casualties, as throwing a grenade into a crowd could injure or kill several people.

The situation calls for urgent attention to curb the flow of these dangerous items into communities.
