Pro-Russian rebels have commenced a new attack on the airport in order to regain the territory. Oddly enough, both sides are claiming to be in full control of the airport.
A number of civilians have been killed in yesterday's attacks as government shelling and rockets hit some civilian buildings. The airport is viewed by both sides as being a strategic location for offensive attacks.
Ukraine's prime minister said that many Russian weapons are coming into Donetsk. He says that the weapons include tanks, rocket systems, BUK and SMERCH systems, communications systems, and more.
Russian officials have not responded when asked for explanations. President Poroshenko, in response to Russia's move said. "We will not give up a single meter of our land."
