    Abstract:
    New light-and-sound shells Zaria and Plamia used by operative workers of organs of the Ministry of Home Affairs of Russia are characterized by all properties typical of explosives. If they are improperly stored and subjects who should not have access to them handle them, explosions may occur involving destruction of buildings and injuries to people with all signs typical of an explosion (exposure to blast shock wave, high temperature, secondary bodily injuries). Forensic medical examination of subjects dead from explosion revealed extensive thermal burns, ruptures of viscera, craniocerebral injuries, separation and crushing of the limbs, bruises, abrasions, wounds caused by fragments of building and articles in the rooms.
