At least 10 people were injured and more than 100 others detained on Saturday after police raided a protest camp near the Ukrainian parliament, authorities said.

Andriy Kryshchenko, head of Kiev Police, told the local 112 TV channel that six protesters and four police officers were injured.

The raid was carried out as part of an investigation into multiple criminal cases, the Interior Ministry said.

Police found grenades, smoke bombs and Molotov cocktails in the camp, the ministry said.

The camp was set up last year by supporters of former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili.

On Feb. 27, 14 police officers were injured in clashes with protesters near parliament.
