Ukraine truce rocked by Kharkiv blast
Two people were killed and about a dozen injured when a bomb exploded in Ukraine’s second-largest city at a march on to mark the first anniversary of the ousting of president Viktor Yanukovych, the country’s interior ministry said.
The ministry said Sunday’s blast in the eastern city of Kharkiv was due to an “unknown explosive device” and was being considered a terrorist act. A police officer was one of the dead, it said.
Markian Lubkivskyi, an aide to the head of Ukraine’s SBU security service, said four suspects had been arrested.
“They are Ukrainian citizens, who underwent instruction and received weapons in the Russian Federation, in Belgorod,” he told Ukraine’s 112 Television. Belgorod is a Russian city just across the border from Kharkiv.
