 For several days now, munitions have been exploding at an artillery base in the region Melitopol - Zaporozhsk district. Shells have been scattered over a radius of 5 kilometres and shell-fragments have fallen 18 kilometres from the base. The situation in the villages of Novobogdanovka, Spasskoe, Terpenie and Novotroitskoe, amongst others, can genuinely be said to resemble a state of war. Homes, railway lines and a gas pipeline have been damaged by the blast. Military installations as well as a school in the village of Fedorovka have been completed destroyed and several people have been killed. Full Story...Minor difference

 There is a time to abide by the law and a time to break it. There is a time to respect the court and a time to ignore it.
