Authorities have suspended flights at Donetsk airport in eastern Ukraine, after separatist gunmen stormed the terminal building overnight, Dmitriy Kosinov, an airport spokesman said Monday.
While armed militia have taken up positions inside the terminal building, Ukrainian forces continue to hold their positions around the airfield.
Increasing violence in the east has led the authorities in Kiev to accuse Russia of backing the armed separatists. It’s a charge Russia has denied, CNN informs.
