A 13-year-old boy from the district of Villach-Land was severely injured in the hand by a homemade firecracker on New Year's Eve. At around 7:00 am, he broke apart a firecracker of the (permitted from 16 years) category F2 and filled the black powder into a plastic container with a fuse. However, when he wanted to light the fuse, the powder ignited and there was an explosion, the police announced in a press release.
