In two separate incidents, schools in Russia and France were disrupted by teenagers wielding hammers and carrying suspicious items.

In the first incident, a teenager entered a school building in the Ostrogozhsky District, Voronezh Region, Russia. However, the identity of the individual remains unknown as per available sources. The details of the incident were reported to the Ostrogozhsky District Police Department. The school's entrance doors, which were open at the time as students were heading to the dining hall in another building, were left unharmed.

In a contrasting turn of events, a former student of the school burst into a school in Kursk, Russia. This teen was armed with a hammer and a bag containing knives and flammable liquid. The school's director activated the "panic button" during the incident, and all students were quickly evacuated and the building's door was locked.

The incident in Kursk was disrupted by a duty staff member, a physical education teacher, and a school bus driver, who managed to disarm the teenager. The regional Ministry of Education praised the actions of the school staff. It is reported that the teen's actions were driven by complex relationships with one of the school's students. The former student now lives in another region.

In a separate incident in France, a teen was injured by knife wounds in a school attack. The individual, who was wearing a hat, balaclava, and carrying a hammer and flammable liquid, burst into his former school. Windows in the hallway and on the entrance door were smashed before the teen fled the scene.

Rosgvardiya officers arrived at the scene in Kursk four minutes after the alarm was raised, while the details of the incident in France are still under investigation. It is important to note that the teen who entered the school building in the Ostrogozhsky District is not the same individual as the one who carried out the attack in France.

These incidents serve as a reminder of the importance of school safety and the need for swift action in such situations. The school staff's quick response in both incidents undoubtedly played a crucial role in preventing further harm.
