France has halted the use of stun grenades after a 15-year-old boy lost a hand during student protests.

The suspension follows the incident involving the teenager, whose hand was blown off during the demonstrations. The source material does not provide further details about the circumstances of the injury, including the location or date of the protest.

The decision means stun grenades will no longer be used during the protests, although no further information is given about how long the suspension will remain in place or whether alternative crowd-control measures will be introduced.
