4 Dead In Ukraine’s Odessa As Pro- And Anti-Maidan Rallies Clash -- RT

Four people were killed and 15 wounded as rival rallies clashed in Ukraine's port-city of Odessa. A pro-unity demonstration, which included nationalists and football fans, ran into a rally preaching greater autonomy for the regions.

Reports that several dozen anti-government activists suffocated from smoke in the Trade Unions House are coming from Odessa. A live video stream from inside the building shows disturbing scenes of supposedly dead bodies lying around the rooms with thick smoke in the air and blood stains on the floor. Most of the bodies filmed had St. George ribbons attached to their clothes, distinguishing the victims as pro-Russian or anti-Kiev activists.

The person filming said he counted up to 25 dead bodies on the upper floors alone.
