Gunbattles were reported and at least one death confirmed in a city in eastern Ukraine as Kiev sent troops in to tackle pro-Russian militants amid mounting tension in the country.
Slovyansk is now the focus of the armed anti-government insurgency, which Kiev claims is being organised by the Kremlin, a claim denied by Russia's president, Vladimir Putin.
The city of 125,000 people had been ringed with checkpoints manned by the pro-Russian forces, some of them in armoured personnel carriers but today Ukrainian forces moved in, fighting pitched gunbattles.
A spokesman with the pro-Russia militia in Slovyansk said people were being killed and wounded in the fighting, but offered no specific figures.
The Interfax news agency cited Interior Minister Arsen Avakov as saying that pro-Russia forces were deploying large-calibre weapons and mortars.

I wonder where they happened to "find" large caliber weapons and MORTARS since Senator Obama brokered a deal for those weapons to be destroyed in 2005?
The Russians are better at motivating their communist goons than the NWO/Americans are at motivating their Nazi goons. Oh well looks like they lost this one.
Nazi's 7 :58? You believe Putin's communist propaganda?
Some info for you, the PRO Russians are the ones threatening Jews you FOOL.
Russians starved 7 million Ukrainians to death in the 1930's.
They took the grain grown in Ukrainian fields and exported it to the west. Ukrainians want no more Communism. They have been destroying Lenin statues for several years.
You should reserve your comments until you get up to speed with history and current info.
It looks like Americans are heading toward this same type of movement. The recent takeover of a town hall meeting in Alberque New Mexico and another in New Hampshire I believe are telling.
New Mexico citizens serving a people's warrant against their police chief and calling for the removal of the mayor and council members is a step in the right direction. Soon to be followed by other communities in the near future.
Your time is coming to an end costumed thugs. You were warned multiple times and paid no heed. The people are motivating, getting organized and are coming for you.
Keep laughing.
