Both Russia and Ukriane deny responsibility for the strike
NIGERIA announced on Tuesday a new mandatory levy on any organisation employing expatriate workers.
Foreign companies will now be required to pay $15,000 (£12,000) for expatriate directors and $10,000 (£8,000) for other categories of workers.
Staff working at diplomatic missions and government officials are exempt from the new rule.
