Presumably, the grenade was thrown from the park, which is located above Grushevsky Street. Now SBU officers are combing green spaces.
Let us recall that at the end of August 2015, also on Grushevsky Street near the Verkhovna Rada building, a military grenade exploded, thrown by Ukrainian nationalists who were trying to break through the National Guard cordon set up during a rally of right-wing radicals.
