MINSK, March 25, 2006 (RFE/RL) -- RFE/RL's Belarus and Russian services report clashes between opposition supporters and police today in the Belarusian capital Minsk.
They also have reported that there have been explosions of undetermined origin. An RFE/RL Belarus Service correspondent says he saw several people lying on the ground.
The clashes occurred after thousands of opposition supporters rallied on Yanka Kupala Square to demand that the outcome of the March 19 presidential polls be annulled.
Reports also say Belarusian police have detained opposition leader Alyaksandr Kazulin.
