Acid Explosion in Angers School Injures Three Students

A bottle of acid caused a small explosion in a school restroom, prompting an investigation but no signs of terrorism.

Three students were lightly injured after an acid-based explosive device detonated in the boys' restroom at Jean-Lurçat Middle School in Angers, France.
The explosion occurred around 10:00 AM during recess, reportedly caused by a bottle of acid reacting with water, leading to a chemical reaction.
Authorities have confirmed the incident was not terror-related and are treating it as a possible prank or act of negligence.
The injured students were transported to the local hospital for treatment, and no respiratory toxicity was detected in the aftermath of the explosion.
A judicial investigation is underway to identify those responsible, and support services have been made available to students and staff.
