Local Editor

Ukrainian radicals lobbed fireworks at the Russian embassy in Kiev early Saturday, police said, a day before it was due to open as a polling station for Russia’s parliamentary elections.

Video broadcast by Ukrainian media showed about 20 young men with a banner saying "Fireworks today, Grad [multiple rocket launchers] tomorrow."

On Sunday, Russian citizens in Kiev will be able to cast parliamentary ballots at the embassy and other diplomatic premises in Ukraine.

On Friday, the Kremlin said it was Kiev’s responsibility to ensure the security of the election process.
