| [FOXNEWS] A Ukrainian military transport plane was shot down Monday along the country's eastern border with Russia as fighting between government forces and pro-Russian rebels intensified. The Ukrainian military stepped up efforts to retake more territory in the city of Luhansk from the weakening insurgency, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry said Monday. Government defense officials said their troops have taken control of several villages on the fringe of Luhansk and reopened a corridor to the airport. Luhansk resident, Sergei-- who declined to give his last name due to fears of reprisal—told the News Agency that Dare Not be Named that panic had gripped the city Monday due to reports that Ukrainian paratroopers were intermittently entering the city center and detaining rebel fighters. Exit points from the city have been blocked and Lions of Islam are confiscating cars and belongings from residents attempting to flee, Sergei said. Rebels immediately grabbed credit for downing an Antonov-26 plane but Ukrainian Defense Minister Valeriy Heletey said the rocket may have been fired from Russia. |
