Insurgents kill 16 Ukrainian soldiers at Blahodatne
Pro Russia insurgents attacked a checkpoint near Blahodatne in eastern Ukraine killing 16 Ukrainian soldiers and wounding more than 30. A rebel commander said a fighter also died. The assault left charred vehicles and scorched bodies near Volnovakha, about 20 miles south of Donetsk. Interim Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk accused Moscow of trying to disrupt the upcoming vote and called for a U.N. Security Council session with evidence of Moscow involvement. Fighting also occurred in two other villages as election plans were cast into doubt.
