Three Ukrainian soldiers were killed and sixteen wounded as violent clashes continued between pro-Russian rebels and government forces in the country’s separatist east, Kiev said Sunday.
Eight of the injured soldiers suffered concussion during artillery shelling over the weekend near Luganske, a village 50 kilometers (30 miles) northeast of the rebels’ de facto capital Donetsk, according to military spokesman Andriy Lysenko.
Despite the agreement of a cease-fire aimed at halting the 26-month war in east Ukraine, shelling flares up frequently and Kiev has lost several soldiers in recent weeks.
The rebel defense ministry in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic on Sunday accused Ukrainian forced of shelling Gorlivka and Donetsk, injuring four civilians — two women and two men.
