Some 100 law enforcement officers were injured in clashes near the Verkhovna Rada building on Monday, Oleksandr Tereschuk, the head of the Kyiv police, told reporters.
"Some 100 people have been injured, one person's feet were torn off, no protesters have been hurt," Tereschuk told reporters.
At the same time, he could not say what explosive device was thrown at the police. "I don't know if it was a combat grenade. The explosion tore a man's feet off, it was probably a homemade one," Tereschuk said.
He also said a criminal case has been opened based on the events that have occurred in front of the Rada building.
Tereschuk said the case is tentatively classified in accordance with the article dealing with the organization of riots.
