Ukrainian forces repelled another attack by pro-Russian separatists on Donetsk Airport in far-eastern Ukraine early today as fighting undermines a month-old truce.
The attack was one of 35 rebel assaults on government positions in the past 24 hours, the military press center in Kiev said on Facebook. Separatists said they control most of the airport. Three civilians were killed and five were injured in Donetsk, military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said today. Seven soldiers were wounded in fighting overnight, he said.
