The 2015 Kharkiv bombing occurred on 22 February 2015, when a bomb hit a Ukrainian national unity rally in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, Kharkiv Oblast.[1][2][3][4] The blast killed at least 3 people and injured another 10, including a boy age 15 and a policeman. On 25 February the death toll rose to 4.[5][6]
Security forces arrested 4 people after the attack. The President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko called the attackers on Facebook 'scum'. Pro-russian activists claimed it was a false flag attack. Ukrainian forces launched an anti terror operation afterwards. 10 people were injured.
Bloomberg reported that the deadly attack in the government-controlled city assisted the decline of the hryvnia, Ukraine's national currency.[7]
