A man who tried to sell grenades and ammunition was detained in Mykolaiv region.
This was reported by the communications department of the Mykolaiv regional police.
During the detention, police seized two F-1 grenades, fuses, 100 rounds of ammunition, and money received from the sale. Investigators have already served the man a notice of suspicion under the article "Illegal handling of weapons, ammunition or explosives". This article of the Criminal Code of Ukraine provides for a sentence of up to seven years in prison.
The court has now imposed a pre-trial restraint on the suspect in the form of no alternative detention. Law enforcers continue to work on establishing the channels through which the weapon was delivered to the detainee.

Meanwhile, a Mykolaiv student was imprisoned for 9 years for drug trafficking . The girl met a person on the Internet who offered her to sell amphetamine. She agreed and received instructions from her 'curator'. She also stored precursors for the manufacture of drugs. During May-September 2024, the defendant purchased at least 600 grams of amphetamine and sent it by mail to different regions of Ukraine using fictitious data.
In particular, the prohibited substances 'traveled' through Odesa, Khmelnytskyi, Lviv, Poltava, Vinnytsia, Cherkasy regions and the city of Kyiv. In court, the girl pleaded guilty, explaining that she was looking for a job and realized that she was dealing with drugs. Before her arrest, she was a fourth-year student at the university. The court sentenced her to 9 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property and ordered her to reimburse the costs of the examination - almost 180 thousand UAH.
