France halts stun grenade use after boy's hand blown off in protests

France has temporarily suspended the use of stun grenades in student protests following an incident where a 15-year-old boy lost his hand in Lens. The suspension comes amid widespread demonstrations across the country over school conditions, which have led to numerous arrests and injuries. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez announced the pause while police watchdogs investigate whether officers used disproportionate force. Conflicting accounts surround the incident, with authorities claiming the boy picked up the device and students alleging he was hit directly.
