More than 10 people were injured when a gunman threw a grenade at a famous bar in a city in southeastern France.

According to local media such as France 24, at least 12 people were injured when a grenade exploded at a bar in Grenoble, Izer, at around 8 p.m. on the 12th (local time).

Two of the victims are known to be in serious condition.




The inside of the bar was devastated by the explosion and all the front windows were broken.

According to witnesses, a gunman with a 'AK-47' rifle came in, threw a grenade and ran away.

The police did not specify the criminal and the motive for the crime, but estimated that it would not be a terrorist attack.




However, it is expected to be related to crimes such as drug trafficking.

"We condemn this criminal act in the strongest possible terms," Grenoble Mayor Eric Piolet said.

Meanwhile, the bar is known to be visited by many residents to watch and cheer for soccer games.
