KHARKIV, Ukraine. March 17 (Interfax) - Firearms and cartridges were seized from a group of radicals arrested early on Saturday after clashes in Kharkiv the night before that claimed two lives and left five people injured, the mayor said on Saturday.
"Three sawed-off shotguns, three hunting guns, one combat rifle, and two pistols adjusted for combat cartridges were seized from them. This is information from the Interior Ministry. Quite a lot of ammunition was found for the weapons they had," Hennadiy Kernes told reporters.
The radicals had arrived in Kharkiv from Poltava, Ukraine, barricaded themselves in the local headquarters of Right Sector and opened fire, but later surrendered to police with Kernes' mediation.
Those wounded in the fire included one policeman.
"I believe that today there need to be combined efforts to put an end to the riots and fatalities that are taking place," Kernes said.
