President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych has said those behind Friday morning's explosions in Kirovohrad will face justice.

"If somebody wanted to say something, for example, to me [via these explosions], I am ready to listen. If they waned to say it in such a manner, they will be brought to account. At present the law enforcement agencies are working. We will search for those who organized this, [and] I hope we will find them," Yanukovych told reporters in Kirovohrad on Friday.

Police say the blasts rang out early Friday at 02:50 in the city of Kirovohrad in central Ukraine, where President Viktor Yanukovych later arrived on a working visit.

Fragments of an artillery missile, parts of a clock and a cylindrical battery were found at the scene. The building itself was not damaged.

No injuries were reported, and no details were disclosed.

Upon arrival, Yanukovych announced that an investigation had begun, and said that, if the blasts were staged by his opponents in order to intimidate him, they would be brought to justice.
