Teen loses hand after picking up police stun grenade in France school protests

A 15-year-old student lost his hand after picking up a police stun grenade during protests in Lens, France, prompting a government investigation into the incident. The protests, driven by teacher shortages, have led to hundreds of school closures nationwide, with 24 schools burned or ransacked and 78 staff injured. Clashes occurred in Lille and Toulouse, and around 5,000 people have been arrested since last week. Student unions have called for nationwide demonstrations on Tuesday, despite security concerns over potential far-left involvement. The protests coincide with government efforts to pass a 2027 deficit-reduction budget amid rising bond yields.
