Twenty four Russian-backed separatists in
east Ukraine have been killed in a rocket attack on the recently
captured airport outside their main stronghold city of Donetsk, rebel
sources said.
The separatist seizure of the virtually obliterated airport this week after months of bitter battles was a major blow for the beleaguered Ukrainian offensives in the east.
Diplomats from Russia, Ukraine, France and Germany met this week to thrash out a tentative dividing line from which the warring sides would pull back their heavy weapons.
Separatists have warned, however, that they intend to continue their advances and take more territory.
