Bomb explodes in Kobrin, Brest region

 A pipe bomb presumably filled with sulfur and magnesium exploded in the district telecommunications office at 30 Internatsionalnaya Street in Kobrin, Brest region, at about midnight on May 13. A man threw the bomb into the office lobby, and it went off, breaking the glass
of three doors. There were no people inside, so no one was
injured.
The Committee for State Security (KGB) and the police are investigating this accident, unusual for the quiet town. The police have identified the bomb thrower but have not been disclosed his name.
