More than 300 people were detained and at least 10 injured after a second night of riots in Estonia's capital Tallinn. Police fired tear gas and rubber bullets during renewed clashes with mainly ethnic Russian protesters.
A Russian national died in clashes on Thursday night, which erupted following the removal of a Soviet war memorial.
Estonia says the memorial symbolised Soviet occupation. Supporters say it celebrated heroes who fought the Nazis.
