Ukraine military recaptures airport
Army troops have restored control over a small airport in eastern Ukraine that had been occupied by pro-Russian militiamen, the acting president said.
It was the first military action taken by the government after Oleksandr Turchynov announced an “anti-terrorist operation” against the separatists who have seized control of numerous buildings in the east of the country.
Heavy gunfire rang out at the airport near Kramatorsk but there was no immediate confirmation of any casualties.
