Gunfire, airstrikes leave Donetsk Intl airport up in smoke (PHOTOS, VIDEO) ― RT News

Donetsk self-defense forces claim on Twitter to have regained control over the international airport in the eastern city after Ukrainian troops launched a military operation there, deploying fighter jets and helicopters.

“The people’s army has the airport in Donetsk back under control. We are rooting out the remaining Kiev’s remaining troops. Airstrikes have stopped for now,” said the tweet from the self-proclaimed People’s Republic of Donetsk.

However, other reports on Twitter suggest shooting in Donetsk still goes on, now moving to the downtown.
