'30 fighters' injured in Ukraine clashes

The bodies of at least 30 fighters have been taken to a hospital following a day of heavy fighting in Donetsk in eastern Ukraine, in which government forces used combat jets against pro-Russia rebels, an insurgent said today.

The rebel fighter said the truck carrying the bodies of his fellow insurgents was still parked outside the hospital, waiting for explosives experts to check it for any unexploded ordnance.
