**Explosion at Police Headquarters. It was an exploded gift for Commander Szymczyk**
There has been an explosion at the Police Headquarters building in Warsaw, reports the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration. In a special communiqué, the ministry said that one of the gifts that Commander Jaroslaw Szymczyk received during his working visit to Ukraine exploded. The case is being investigated by the prosecutor’s office.
“One of the gifts that the commandant received during his working visit to Ukraine on December 11-12 this year, where he met with the leadership of the Ukrainian Police and Emergency Situations Service, exploded. The gift was a gift from one of the heads of the Ukrainian service,” the Ministry of Internal Affairs statement reads.
As a result of the explosion, the commander suffered light injuries and was hospitalized for observation. A civilian employee of the Police Headquarters also suffered light injuries that did not require hospitalization. On Thursday, KGP spokesman Mariusz Ciarka also confirmed in a message to TVN24 that there was damage to the ceiling in the office. The Polish side has asked the Ukrainian side for an explanation.
Initially, it was suspected that a projectile was fired from a grenade launcher
As we have already written in Gazeta.pl, initially the media reported that the cause was supposed to be the accidental firing of a shell from a grenade launcher, which came to Poland from Ukraine. The missile was said to have hit a wall in the office of Commander-in-Chief Jaroslaw Szymczyk.
Onet’s latest findings indicate that at some point Szymczyk himself took the grenade launcher in his hand and pointed it toward the door of the social room in his office. “All indications are that he accidentally fired the weapon, not expecting it to be loaded. The bullet hit the floor and probably pierced it. This caused the ceiling in the room under the commandant’s office to crumble,” the portal reports.
Onet’s informants report that if the commandant or anyone else brought the weapon into that office, he should be punished. – If it was the commandant who brought it in or even knowingly agreed to bring it in, that qualifies for his resignation, the portal’s sources add.
Gazeta.pl’s editors have contacted the Police Headquarters on the matter. We are still waiting for a response.

This guy fits his role as a true Pole. If the police chiefs are in possession of grenade launchers, I would like to see what else they got. Don’t think Belarus will try ANYTHING funny.
Yeah, okay, it shouldn’t have been loaded, but he should also not play with it, or at least confirm that it’s safe before playing with it.
Remember kids. Remains of Russian weapons — while cool as memorabilia — are not toys!
This is the most Slavic thing ever. Ukrainians gifting it loaded as a present, him trying it out on his office
By injured I presume that amongst other things it means that his eardrums are trickling down his neck?
There’s an infamous incident from Yugoslavia when a car load of Serbs tried to shoot an RPG at a British patrol. The one that didn’t die instantly or suffer severe burns was never going to be hearing ever again.
