The death toll in last Friday's hand grenade explosion, in which two people died at their homestead in Lumina Village in the Mpacha area of the Zambezi Region, has risen to three.

The family of four—the 34-year-old father, Kashako Mulatehi, and his three children, Mulatehi Mulatehi, Yamuno Mulatehi, and Lydia Mulatehi—were all involved in the explosion.

14-year-old Yamuno Mulatehi died on the spot, while his 9-year-old sister, Lydia Mulatehi, died at the Katima Mulilo State Hospital, where they were rushed for medical care.
