(Photo not found) Ukraine has ordered its troops in Crimea to use their weapons to protect themselves after a soldier was killed when pro- Russian forces stormed a military base near Simferopol- the first military casualty since the peninsula was occupied by Russian forces three weeks ago. "The conflict is shifting from a political to a military stage," said Ukrain's interim prime minister, Arseniy Vatsenyuk, at an emergency government meeting on Thursday night. "The Russian soldiers have started shooting at Ukrainian military servicemen, and that is a war crime." Moscow has not yet responded. A Ukrainian military spokesman, Vladislav Selezyov, said that one soldier had died and another was injured after they were shot when the base was attacked by "unknown forces, fully equipped and their faces covered." It was unclear whether the assailants were Russian troops or pro- Moscow militiamen, who have been active in their support for Crimea's occupation. Earlier this week the Russian defence ministry reportedly told Ukrainian soldiers they had untill friday to leave the region or face military action. Meanwhile, a deal was reportedly reached between Russian and Ukrainian commanders to allow supplies and people to enter and exit the bases more freely. But on the ground, tension appear to have risen in last few days. For the full story visit www.theguardian.com By: Me Source: www.theguardian.com
