Seven people were killed and two seriously injured in Azerbaijan after a grenade was thrown into a house, authorities said Wednesday.

The attack took place in the country's Goranboy region, around 320 km west of Baku, Wednesday. The suspected attacker, Rafig Huseynov, 36, threw a grenade into the house where his father-in-law lived.
