A MEMBER of the European security watchdog OSCE was killed and two injured yesterday when their car hit a mine in Ukraine’s breakaway east.

Two vehicles with six observers from the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe were driving near the village of Pryshyb in the self-declared Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR).

Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz, who holds the rotating OSCE chairmanship, called for a “thorough investigation,” vowing: “Those responsible will be held accountable.”
