Rebel Missile Attack Kills 30 Ukrainian Troops; Ukraine Officials Vow to Punish Russian Rebels

An adviser to Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said today (July 11, 2014) that Russian separatist rebels in the east may have killed as many as 30 government soldiers in a rocket attack, the RFERL (Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty) website reports.

Zoryan Shkyryak said the rebels used Grad multiple-rocket launchers in their assault. "Up to 30 were killed," Shkyryak said.

"It is not excluded that the number of victims will rise because these bloodthirsty scum despicably shot from Grad [rocket] systems and there is destruction," Shkyryak added.

He said authorities would react swiftly to punish the perpetrators. "They will be destroyed or captured and be made answerable to Ukrainian law."
