The Guardian: Ukraine says six soldiers killed by rebels and 14 wounded in last 24 hours
Military spokesman says situation is particularly tense around Donestsk airport as skirmishes continue despite four-month ceasefire
The Ukrainian military says six of its soldiers have been killed and 14 wounded in the past 24 hours in the separatist east of the country despite the current ceasefire.
The situation is particularly tense around the airport near the city of Donetsk, which is controlled by the rebels, the military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said.
“The enemy threw tanks, armoured personnel carriers and heavy artillery into battle. We emphasise that rebels are also firing at residential areas,” he said.
The casualties were the result of landmine explosions and shelling by the pro-Russia separatists, he added.
