Ukraine says rebels using rocket launchers
KIEV, Ukraine (AP) -- Ukrainian military officials say separatist rebels in the east have resumed the use of rocket launchers that should have been withdrawn under a February peace deal.
The army said in a statement Tuesday that rebels fired Grad rockets the evening before at the government-held town of Avdiivka, which lies on the fringes of the main rebel stronghold of Donetsk.
There has been a recent uptick in clashes along the front separating government and rebel forces. Speaking an investor conference in Kiev, President Petro Poroshenko warned Tuesday that that the resumption of full-blown war is a perennial threat.
More than 6,000 people have died and another million have been displaced by the conflict that has raged over the past year.
