TERRORIST ATTACK AT UKRAINIAN ELECTIONS

A Molotov cocktail has been thrown to a polling station in a rural region of the Ukraine at the start of the parliamentary elections today. Chief of the Central Electoral Commission Yaroslav Davydovich said that the incident had occurred in Dymerka, near Kiev. The damage is not important, Davydovich says, and the voting will be delayed. There is no word about who could be behind the terrorist attack. Ukrainian authorities seem trying to minimize the incident. Polling stations in the Ukraine opened at 08.00 a.m. local time. By 02.00 pm the turnout has been low. Only 18% of registered voters have cast their votes.
