Separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine shot down a military helicopter Thursday, killing 14 troops including an army general, acting President Oleksandr Turchynov told a session of parliament.

"I just received information that near Slavyansk, the terrorists -- using a Russian man-portable air defence system -- shot down our helicopter," Turchynov said. "Fourteen of our servicemen died, including General Volodymyr Kulchytskiy." (AFP)
