Dynamo Kyiv stadium set aflame by protesters in Kiev
Tens of thousands of protesters armed with sticks, flares and Molotov cocktails clashed with security forces in Kiev on Sunday, with protesters setting fire to the ticket booth at local football team Dynamo Kyiv's iconic Olimpiyskiy National Sports Complex. Fires also raged close to the stadium, including a bus set alight by the entrance.The violence in Kiev comes follow a number of bills signed by Ukrainian President Victor Yanukovych last week, which critics argue limit people's right to protest. These include the banning of helmets and gas masks during protests, legislation that was defied by some of the protesters on Sunday.
As Ukraine's most popular and successful club, Dynamo Kyiv's stadium resides in close proximity to the Ukrainian parliament as well as other important buildings, including the Central Bank of Ukraine and the National Art Museum of Ukraine.
