Two militiamen killed in roadblock attack near Slovyansk - security official

KYIV. May 26 (Interfax) - The bodies of two slain separatists have been found after clashes near a Ukrainian security roadblock near Slovyansk, said Vladislav Seleznyov, a spokesperson for the antiterrorist operation (ATO).

"Separatists are taking measures to leave the ATO area. It was with this aim that militants fired at one of the roadblocks near the populated area of Slovyansk at dawn on May 26. Ukrainian security forces responded by using small arms. During the search and raid operations near the roadblock they found two slain militants," Seleznyov wrote on his Facebook page on Monday.
