FIVE-YEAR-OLD KILLED IN YEMEN GRENADE ACCIDENT

AMRAN, Feb. 19 (Saba) – A five-year child was killed on Friday in Yemen's northern Amran province when a hand grenade that he found in his dad's room and then played with it exploded, the Interior Ministry reported.

The accident was blamed on the child's negligent family, the ministry said, urging parents to keep weapons out of children reach.

8 children killed themselves in weapon accidents in Yemen this year, according to the ministry.
