On the of outskirts of Slovyansk, the interior ministry says its security forces killed at least two armed men at a checkpoint, as the government tries to regain control of several towns where pro-Russian separatists press from autonomy. Repeated government threats to stage an attack on pro-Russian protesters in Slovyansk remain empty, although sporadic clashes reap lives and raise possibility of more violence. Al Jazeera's Barnaby Phillips sent this report from nearby Horlivka.
