Interior Minister of Ukraine Vitaliy Zakharchenko has said he sees no reason to re-qualify the case opened into the April 27 explosions in Dnipropetrovsk.
"All of the signs of a terrorist attack are obvious, and the case was qualified correctly. There are no grounds today to speak about the possibility of re-qualifying the case or transferring it to the Interior Ministry for investigation," he said at a press conference in Kyiv on Friday, May 4.
According to Zakharchenko, the police have been put on high alert both in Dnipropetrovsk and all over Ukraine.
However, there is no need to declare a state of emergency in the country, the minister said.
As reported, thirty people were injured in four explosions that took place in Dnipropetrovsk on April 27. Of them, 26 were hospitalized. As of Friday morning, ten people hurt in the incident are still in the city’s hospitals. Their lives are out of danger.
The Security Service of Ukraine said the blasts were a terrorist attack.
All of the explosive devices were planted in concrete trash bins.
