A Kaunas Resident Throws a Grenade Full of Jealousy and Revenge: "I Said, the Horned One Won't Walk"
A Kaunas man faces serious charges after throwing a grenade, resulting in injuries to another individual, motivated by jealousy and revenge.
In a troubling case from Kaunas, Lithuania, a resident named R.Buračas has been charged with causing an explosion in his apartment due to motives of jealousy and revenge. On June 27, 2025, after consuming alcohol, he allegedly threw a hand grenade inside an apartment building on K.Griniaus street, resulting in injuries to one individual, Mindaugas, who suffered multiple wounds, including eardrum ruptures.
The case almost stalled as the initial court hearings were canceled twice, but it finally began to move forward with an evidence examination starting on February 26. During the proceedings, an intriguing moment occurred when Buračas, despite the serious nature of the case, appeared jovial at the sight of a photographer, suggesting a flippant attitude towards the gravity of his alleged actions.
The prosecution, led by a female prosecutor, presented the charges formally, detailing the dangerous nature of Buračas's actions and the implications it holds for public safety. This incident highlights not only the personal turmoil that can lead individuals to such violent outbursts but also raises questions about the broader societal issues relating to substance abuse and conflict.
