Sloviansk residents sleep in basements as fighting increases
Civilians in the Ukrainian town of Sloviansk have taken to sleeping in the basements of buildings as fighting increases between separatists - who want the region to be allied more closely to Russia - and Ukrainian troops struggling to prevent the break up of the country.
It is thought that dozens of people have died as the fighting encroaches into residential areas.
