.A fierce battle for Donetsk airport, with Ukraine using air strikes and helicopter gunships against pro-Russian separatists, shattered the country's election day truce on Monday.
.The city was engulfed in a bloody conflict for the first time as Ukrainian forces tried to retake the international airport from rebels who had occupied it just hours after the country had elected a new president.
.While fighting has become a regular feature of life around the rebel stronghold of Slavyansk, there had not been street to street fighting in Donetsk until Monday.
.The battle began when fighters loyal to the so-called Donetsk People's Republic seized control of the airport in the early hours of Monday morning, in what appeared to be a show of force in response to Petro Poroshenko's victory in the presidential election.
.Flights were suspended at the request of the rebels, who were demanding that troops from a small Ukrainian garrison, who have secured the perimeter of the airport since the beginning of the crisis, lay down their weapons.
.But government forces launched a counter-attack against the rebels at about noon, reportedly deploying troops borne by helicopter.
.Heavy machinegun fire and explosions from high explosive rounds, mortars and grenade launchers rent the air as the hours-long battle spilt out of the airport and into nearby residential neighbourhoods.
.The Daily Telegraph saw one dead civilian at the city's main railway station, a mile and a half to the south, whom police said had been killed by stray fire from the battle.
