Explosions in Taiwan and France Leave Multiple Casualties
Fatalities reported in a shopping mall explosion in Taiwan, while a bombing in Grenoble, France injures at least twelve.
A series of violent incidents occurred today in two locations, leading to significant casualties.
In central Taiwan, a fatal explosion took place in a shopping mall in Taichung, resulting in at least one death and several injuries, as confirmed by local authorities.
The blast occurred in a restaurant situated within the shopping center, which was reportedly closed at the time due to maintenance work.
Meanwhile, in Grenoble, France, a separate attack left twelve individuals wounded, two of whom are in critical condition.
According to local reports, a hand grenade was thrown into a bar in a working-class district of the city.
The attack happened shortly after 8 PM local time.
François Ture de Cusi, a prosecutor in Grenoble, stated that the assailant entered the establishment without uttering a word, threw the device, and subsequently fled the scene.
Furthermore, he noted that the suspect was armed with an automatic weapon similar to an AK-47, although it was not discharged during the incident.
Emergency services responded swiftly, with around eighty firefighters and approximately twenty ambulances deployed to assist the injured.
The injured individuals were transported to Grenoble Alpes University Hospital for medical care.
Grenoble's mayor, Éric Piolle, condemned the act of violence, describing it as unprecedented and expressing gratitude towards emergency responders for their prompt action.
As of now, authorities in both locations are investigating the incidents.
In the case of Grenoble, prosecutors indicated that terrorism is not the primary line of inquiry at this stage, while all possible motives remain under consideration.
