Grenade Explosion at Libyan Wedding Kills 1 & Injures 20 in Tripoli

A tragic accident struck a wedding celebration in Tripoli, Libya, when a hand grenade explosion claimed the life of one man and injured nearly 20 others.

The incident occurred late Sunday night in the Kashlaf area of the capital. According to medical sources, the explosion was caused by a hand grenade—known locally as a “Rommana”—that was reportedly attached to the waist of a wedding guest. The man was dancing when the grenade accidentally detonated, instantly killing him.

Shrapnel from the blast injured around 20 other attendees, many of whom were quickly transported to nearby hospitals for emergency medical treatment. The exact number of those seriously injured remains unconfirmed, but local authorities have launched an investigation into the incident.

The use of firearms and explosives at weddings and social gatherings has become a concerning trend in Libya, raising public safety fears amid an already volatile security environment. Authorities have repeatedly urged citizens to refrain from bringing weapons to celebrations, but such warnings often go unheeded.

This latest incident has once again ignited debate over the dangers of celebratory violence in post-conflict Libya, where arms remain readily accessible.
