A deputy local leader in western Ukraine threw grenades at a meeting and hurt 26 people, according to the police.
The attack happened on Friday morning at the village council office in Keretsky, in the western Zakarpattia region.
The police have not said why the attack happened yet. Six people are badly hurt.
The meeting was being shown live on Facebook while it happened.
Video shows the man coming into the room while people were arguing about an hour and a half into the meeting.
After that, he waits by a door for about 30 seconds and then throws three grenades into the middle of the room.
The police said 26 people got hurt. Six of them are very badly hurt. They also said the medics are trying to help the person who threw the grenades.
Many people in Ukraine have guns because of the war with Russia, but we do not have proof that the attack was connected to the fighting.

Brazilian politician throws grenades towards police in Rio de Janeiro state
A Brazilian politician has been arrested after he threw grenades at police officers who arrived at his home in the state of Rio de Janeiro to arrest him.
Before surrendering on Sunday, Roberto Jefferson, an ally of far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, wounded two officers.
Previously, a Supreme Court judge ordered his incarceration for disrespecting Chief Justice Cármen Luca. He had already been placed under house arrest for threatening her.
Mr Bolsonaro reacted by saying those who fired at police should be arrested.
The two officers were wounded by shrapnel from a grenade during the attack in Comendador Levy Gasparian, north of the state capital Rio de Janeiro. They were taken to the hospital and later discharged.
Mr Jefferson, the 69-year-old former leader of the PTB political party, also fired a number of shots from a rifle, shattering the windshield of a police car.
Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes had ordered the politician to be detained on the grounds that he violated the conditions of house arrest.
Political tensions are high in Brazil ahead of Sunday’s presidential election run-off between Mr Bolsonaro and left-winger Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Lula – who is still seen as the front-runner – fell short of the 50% of valid votes needed to prevent a run-off in the first round earlier this month.
