| 90 government troops killed in eastern Ukraine |
| 2014-09-03 |
| [Iran Press TV] Ukraine's military says nearly 90 government forces have been killed in the southeastern town of Ilovaysk in the Donetsk region. Mykhailo Logvinov, a military official in the southeastern region of Zaporizhye, said on Wednesday that the bodies of 87 forces were delivered to a local morgue in the area. Logvinov said that local forensic experts have identified the remains. He claimed that the soldiers were surrounded and captured by pro-Russian fighters last month. Elsewhere in Donetsk, six non-combatants were killed in government shelling of the town of Yenakiyevo. They died when artillery shells hit a parking lot. Ukraine's mainly Russian-speaking regions in the east have witnessed deadly festivities between pro-Moscow forces and the Ukrainian army since Kiev launched military operations to silence the pro-Russians there in mid-April. Violence intensified in May after the two flashpoint regions of Donetsk and Luhansk held local referendums, in which their residents voted overwhelmingly in favor of independence from Ukraine. |
