 A video and still photos posted on May 15 by Russia's investigative committee showed the extent of damage to a barbershop in the Russian-controlled eastern Ukrainian city of Luhansk, where at least seven people, including senior local official, were injured in an explosion. Local media reported that Igor Kornet, the Moscow-installed acting interior minister of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic, was in hospital, connected to a ventilator having suffered head injuries. There was no official confirmation of his condition. After the explosion, the Russian investigative committee opened a criminal investigation into the attempted murder of a law enforcement officer. Kornet has been serving as interior minister of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic since 2014.
