Two members of a special rapid response security forces unit were hurt during attempts to bring the man under control at the Shevchenkivskyi court in the centre of the capital.
Klymenko, briefing reporters at the scene, said the man had "presumably...died from the explosive device".
After the hearing, he said the man had first locked himself into a bathroom and tossed an explosive device at two guards.
