Fighting has broken out in the
Eastern Ukraine city of Kramatorsk, local media reported Friday.
A Ukraine Mi-8 helicopter was reportedly shot down in the city,
although the pilot managed to eject before the aircraft
exploded, the Unian agency said. Russia's Ria Novosti said
gunfire could be heard in the city and a tank was on fire. Kiev
has launched raids against pro-Russian separatists who are
occupying key buildings in many eastern Ukrainian towns. Moscow,
which has thousands of troops on its side of the border, has
called on the US to make Kiev stop raids.
