Ukraine Forces and Pro-Russian Militants Battle Over Local Police Station -- New York Times
DONETSK. Ukraine — Ukrainian special forces moved in Sunday to confront a separatist revolt in eastern Ukraine, engaging in gunfights with armed pro-Russian militants who stormed a Ukrainian police station in the town of Slovyansk. At least one officer died in the operation and several were injured, along with four local citizens, Ukrainian officials said.
The police station was one of several security centers in the eastern region of Donetsk seized on Saturday by unidentified masked gunmen in a series of coordinated raids that Ukrainian authorities denounced as Russian “aggression.”
Roman Svitan, a security adviser to the Ukrainian authorities in Donetsk, said the government’s so-called “anti-terrorist operation,” launched early Sunday by Alfa, a special services unit of Ukraine’s State Security Service, had evicted gunmen from the Slovyansk police headquarters. He said the expelled gunmen were mostly local pro-Russian extremists but also included Russian operatives.
