KIEV: Ukraine´s security services said on Thursday they had detained four members of a pro-Russian group suspected of plotting to blow up a block of flats in Kiev. “They planned to blow up a building in Obolon and were caught red-handed,” Olena Gitlyanska, spokeswoman for the SBU security services, told AFP, referring to a large residential area in northern Kiev. The four men resisted arrest, hurling a hand grenade at Special Forces, the SBU said. The SBU agents fired back, wounding one of the suspects in the leg. The targeted block of flats housed on the ground floor a centre collecting public donations for armed forces battling pro-Russian Separatists in the east. The men were seized close to the centre, run by far-right organisation the Right Sector.
