Pro-Russian separatists said Tuesday they sustained big losses in a gun battle Monday for control of this city’s international airport as sporadic shooting continued around the airport.
A top Donetsk separatist leader, Pavel Gubarev, posted on his Facebook
page early Tuesday that a rocket-propelled grenade hit a truck that was
carrying wounded separatists from the battle at the airport, killing an
estimated 35 and injuring 15. His claim could not
immediately be confirmed.
