An accidental grenade blast in a Russian region bordering Ukraine has led to at least seven deaths, the Interfax news agency reported Tuesday.
"Four dead have been found among the missing. The number of victims has increased to seven people," the emergency services told Interfax.
It added that the search for four more people was continuing.
Over the weekend a sergeant in the southern Belgorod region "unintentionally" detonated a hand grenade inside a dormitory at a location for military personnel, Interfax said, citing emergency services.
According to Interfax, the grenade triggered an ammunition blast and subsequent fire, killing three servicemen and injuring 16 others, including the perpetrator.
Unconfirmed reports from the Telegram channel Baza, which is close to Russian security services, said all the dead and injured were soldiers mobilized to fight in Ukraine.
Russia announced the mobilization of 300,000 men in late September to bolster Russian troops in Ukraine following a series of defeats on the ground.
Critics say many mobilized men hardly had any battlefield experience and have received little training before being sent to the front.

Must have been a special vodka drinking game. Here, hold muh grenade. Looks like the dead are recently mobilized into Vlad’s meat grinder.
“” the grenade triggered an ammunition blast and subsequent fire””
A sergeant no less.
Well, that’s one way to learn about grenades. Wait’ll they give them nukes.
It's a special day when you can wake up to news from Biden's war.
close only counts in horseshoes and …
Your attempt at being funny is as pathetic as all your other activities on this board.
Probably.
Based on the videos of Russian capping themselves and their friends, Russian drunken trigger displine is sorely lacking.
Their Grenade displine is probably similar.
Russkis can’t even get Fragging right...
7 dead, russians killing themselves.
May more russians refuse to fight putin’s war
Russians killing Russians. Nothing bad can come of this.
Carry on!
Does that really mean anything today, in Putin's "partially mobilized" Russia?
The guy may have been sitting behind the counter in an adult bookstore in Saratov just two months ago.

Training. “Now pay attention, because I’m only going to do this once.”
A sergeant no less.

Russian military: a sergeant is the senior enlisted bully. You don’t like something, he beats the c—p out of you. You run in combat, he shoots you.
A couple of days ago I watched an “Enforcer” drone Youtube video showing unarmed Russian soldiers running around a Ukraine village like chickens with their heads cut off. Finally they all congregated in a bombed-out house. Then Ukrainian artillery zeroed in on the house, and killed them all.
It’s clear that Russia is throwing raw unarmed conscripts up against Ukrainian war machines. Stupid.
The grenade "triggered an ammunition blast."
Storing ammo in a dormitory proves once again the stupidity of the RU military.
No cake for the sergeant's wife.
A fragging, a suicide or both?
Fragmentation hand grenade grenades?
Long ago I’d been around mostly cherries and eggs and a few pineapples...
And still, have the memory of an NVA stick flipping end over towards my position, yes seared in deep.
But never heard of one detonating all by itself???
Not even with the many Grunts involved???
How does it happen?
