Slavyansk: A police station and a state security building in eastern Ukraine were seized on Saturday by armed men dressed in camouflage fatigues, an official said. The two incidents took place in Slovyansk, a town about 100 km north of regional capital Donetsk near the Russian border, Xinhua reported. The armed men initially occupied the police station, where they seized at least 400 handguns and 20 automatic weapons, Ukraine police said in a statement. "The aim of occupying the police station was the guns which they are giving out the protesters in Sloviansk," the statement said. The attack on the police station was followed by the storming of the state security building.
Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said on his Facebook page that the attack was led by "armed men in camouflage fatigues" and he vowed a severe response. Ukrainian Special Forces had been dispatched to the scene, Avakov said, adding there was zero tolerance for armed terrorists. It was not immediately clear how the local police responded to the attack or whether the gunmen had taken any hostages. But Avakov said that Ukrainian Special Forces had been dispatched to the scene. The interior minister added that a separate group of assailants had tried to take control of the prosecutor's office building the regional capital Donetsk.
"They have all been expelled. The building has been clear of unauthorised personnel," he wrote. "Another self-declared defence minister has been arrested," he added. An AFP reporter saw a heavy police presence around the prosecutor's office and the building under apparent government control. Meanwhile, US has slapped additional sanctions on companies and individuals assisting Russia in its alleged annexation of Crimea, and announced that it will provide a USD 1 billion loan guarantee to the Ukrainian government. "The US will continue to impose costs on Russia for its illegal and illegitimate occupation of Crimea and, moreover, that we are fully prepared to impose additional significant sanctions on Russia if it continues to escalate the situation in Ukraine," US Treasury Secretary, Jacob Lew, said.
