Kiev: One Ukrainian serviceman was killed and two were wounded in separatist eastern territories in the past 24 hours, Kiev`s military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said in a televised briefing on Wednesday.
He said the situation remained unstable. Rebels "actively used guns, rocket-propelled grenades (and) yesterday the enemy twice opened tank fire on our forces near Pisky," Lysenko said, referring to a village near rebel-held Donetsk.
Ukraine`s military and pro-Russian rebels have accused each other of intensifying attacks over the past few days, putting further strain on a two-month-old ceasefire deal.
