A 15-year-old boy suffers the amputation of a hand due to a grenade during protests in France.

During ongoing student protests in France against budget cuts and resource shortages, a 15-year-old adolescent suffered the amputation of a hand caused by a grenade deployed by French police forces. The incident occurred on a Monday amid widespread demonstrations driven by student demands for improved infrastructure, such as facilities free from decaying ceilings and rodent infestations.

Simultaneously, representatives of the student strike movement, including high school union co-secretary Marius Mesnil, asserted that the government is beginning to show fear as the mobilizations persist. The student leadership has vowed to continue the protests until their infrastructural demands are fully addressed by authorities.
