Separatist violence spreads to three more East Ukraine towns

Firing is reported in Kramatorsk in the Donetsk region of E. Ukraine Saturday night when men tried to storm local administration buildings and police fired back. In Sloviensk, separatists occupied a police station and security buildings, while in Druzhkovna, buildings were also taken over. A Donetsk police chief quit after pro-Russian crowds marked on a police station demanding his resignation.

Friday, the Ukraine prime minister offered to grant sweeping autonomous powers to restive regions.
