Two Ukrainian soldiers were killed and 14 more injured over 24 hours in clashes between government forces and pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine, a security official in Kiev said Saturday. Most of the casualties were near Donetsk, the major separatist hub close to the line of contact, Ukrainian army spokesman Andriy Lysenko said, adding that the situation is still tense. Ukrainian officials also reported that five civilians, including a twelve-year-old girl, were injured in rebel-held town of Gorlivka by a separatist news agency.
