Stun Grenade Hurled near Haret Saida Municipality Building
A stun grenade was hurled on Saturday evening in the predominantly Shiite neighborhood of Haret Saida in the southern city of Sidon, the state-run National News Agency reported.
"The grenade was hurled near the gate of an orchard in the neighborhood," the NNA said.
"A Bangladeshi national was wounded in the arm in the incident and was transferred to the city's public hospital for treatment."
But Future TV said that the grenade was hurled near the municipality building of Haret Saida.
No injuries were however reported, the same source remarked.
"The grenade was dropped on a street facing the municipality building,” LBCI television detailed, adding that the road leads to a Hizbullah compound in the neighborhood.
"Army troops have since cordoned off the area.”
Meanwhile, local Sidon websites said a speeding car dropped the grenade behind the building, creating an atmosphere of chaos and panic among the residents of the city.
