The airport in Donetsk which was captured by separatists is now under the control of the Ukrainian military, Interior Minister Arsen Avakov reports, according to his ministry's press office.
"The airport is entirely under control. The enemy has suffered grave losses; we have had none," Avakov said. "The operation is continuing this morning."
Avakov said he did not know the precise number of casualties on the separatist side, but presumed they ran into the dozens.
