An OSCE vehicle parked near the organization's regional HQ in western Ukraine has been targeted by an arsonist, local media report. A marked Nissan Patrol was damaged by fire in Ivano-Frankovsk, a regional capital in western Ukraine, according to local news agency Galka.

Footage of the incident published by the outlet shows the car with its hood and interior burning as firefighters rush to extinguish the flames. Police are investigating the attack, and the OSCE said it would provide further details in its next report on the situation in Ukraine.

The OSCE mission in Ukraine is best known for monitoring the shaky ceasefire in the east of the country, where for the past two years Kiev has been waging a crackdown on rebel forces. The observers provide regular reports on violations committed by both sides of the conflict.

In addition to monitoring the situation in the east, the security organization's personnel are deployed all across the country.
