Shots fired in Ukrainian capital (VIDEO) | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
Local anti-corruption activists had been staging a demonstration in a currency exchange office close to the sensitive government building | |
A security guard has opened fire outside the Security Service (SBU) building in Kiev, Ukraine during an incident involving NGO activists, eyewitnesses have confirmed. | |
According to preliminary reports by local media, the man fired several warning shots in response to what he thought could be a potential attack against a currency exchange office. | |
The perceived threat is said to have turned out to be an attempt by activists of the anti-corruption Ukrainian Flag NGO to place stickers on the office’s walls. The organization has confirmed its involvement in the incident, saying its activists “have been attacked by armed people.” | |
No injuries have been reported as a result of the incident, and law enforcement has said it is investigating the situation. | |
The SBU is Ukraine's successor to the Soviet-era KGB security agency and maintains an imposing headquarters in the center of Kiev. |
