KIEV (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 22nd July, 2020) Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov denied information about the injury of one of the hostages in a seized bus in Lutsk and said there were no other explosives planted by the hijacker elsewhere in the city.
Earlier in the day, Avakov's deputy Anton Gerashchenko said that, according to the police, there was a man with a non-life-threatening wound in the leg in the hijacked bus.
