KIEV: Several hundred protesters led by former Georgian leader Mikheil Saakashvili stormed Kiev’s performing arts centre on Sunday, some hurling rocks, smoke bombs and firecrackers at the windows and doors.
Police who surrounded the building used fire extinguishers against the demonstrators who attacked the October Palace during an afternoon performance by the Glenn Miller Orchestra. A few made it into the building, but they did not disrupt the concert.
"Ukraine’s ministry of internal affairs asks the protesters not to commit provocations, not seize the building and not to endanger the safety of children," ministry spokesman Artem Shevchenko wrote on Twitter.
