Russia ‘Outraged’ at Deadly Shootout in East Ukraine
Four people were reported killed on Sunday in a gun battle in restive eastern Ukraine, shattering a fragile Easter truce in the crisis-hit former Soviet republic.
Three pro-Russian militants and one attacker were killed in a deadly firefight at a road block close to the separatist-held town of Slavyansk, local leader Vyatcheslav Ponomarev said.
The identity of the assailants was not known. Kiev’s interim government had pledged a halt to military operations to oust the rebels until the end of the Orthodox Easter holidays on Monday.
