Social Media Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 An unexploded grenade has been removed from the chest of a Ukrainian soldier. Before and after photos on the Facebook page of Ukraine's armed forces medical service show an X-ray of the explosive close to the serviceman's heart, and another of the surgeon holding the bloody device. The post said two soldiers helped to oversee the operation to ensure it was carried out safely. The injured soldier is now recovering, the group said. The social media post said the surgery was carried out without the use of electrocoagulation - a common method where an electric current is used to help control bleeding during surgery - because the "ammunition could detonate at any time".

Saanim Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 For the record: The same action - on the other side of the river (and of the front line) - was reported in November last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
