Shots Fired At Ukraine Airport As Troops Move In

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 15 April 2014 | 23.13

Airborne troops have stormed an airport in the eastern city of Kramatorsk as Ukraine launches an "anti-terrorist operation" against pro-Russian separatists.

Shots rang out from inside the air base after Ukrainian troops disembarked from two military helicopters.

Russian news reports say up to 11 people have been killed in clashes at the base.

Ukraine's Interim President Oleksandr Turchynov says troops have taken control of the facility.

The Reuters news agency reported that prior to the troops landing, some of the separatists appeared to be preparing petrol bombs.

"At the moment a special operation is going on in Kramatorsk," the Ukrainian defence ministry said.

The state security service has announced that a similar operation is under way in the town of Slaviansk, some 12 miles away.

The two cities are among 10 locations in the Russian-speaking east where separatist rebellions have broken out.

It comes after Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said Ukraine was on the verge of civil war.

"I will be brief: Ukraine is on the brink of civil war, it's frightening," he said.
