DHAKA: A large crowd of pro-Russian activists has stormed the regional administration’s headquarters in the eastern Ukrainian city of Luhansk.

Hundreds of people, led by about 20 youths armed with metal bars, were attempting to take over the building.

A few dozen activists shouting ‘Referendum Russia’ later occupied the building. Unverified video footage showed a Russian flag raised over it, reports the BBC.
