Three Ukrainian servicemen were killed in fighting with pro-Russian rebels in the east of the country as fighting intensified in the region, Kiev said on Sunday.
Ukraine’s defence ministry said one soldier was killed in fighting late on Saturday. The country s security service (SBU) later on Sunday confirmed two other servicemen were killed in shelling in the Luhansk region.
Clashes between Ukrainian forces and separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine have escalated, the worst outbreak of fighting so far this year, officials said Monday.
The headquarters for the Ukrainian operations in the east said two soldiers were killed and another four were wounded in fighting near the village of Yuzhnoye early Monday.
A soldier has been killed and another wounded during an operation against the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in southeastern Turkey, a security source said on May 11.
The source, who asked not to be named due to restrictions on talking to the media, said the security forces had been running a counter-terror operation in the Bestler-Dereler region in the Şırnak province.
The Basque militant group ETA has announced it has “completely dissolved all its structures”, according to a letter sent to Basque institutions and civil society groups.
In the letter, published by Spanish online newspaper eldiario.es on Wednesday, ETA said it acknowledges its responsibility in failing to solve the Basque “political conflict”.
The Basque militant group ETA will announce its final dissolution early next month, public television station ETB reported, just over a year since it ended its armed separatist campaign by surrendering guns and explosives.
ETA killed more than 850 people during the campaign which lasted almost half a century and was aimed at creating a Basque state in northern Spain and southwest France.
