Pro-Moscow activists seize Ukraine navy headquarters in Sevastopol

[The Straight Story]

PRO-MOSCOW activists have overrun the Ukrainian navy’s headquarters in Sevastopol with no shots fired, Ukrainian navy spokesman Sergiy Bogdanov says.

“There are about 200 of them, some wearing balaclavas. They are unarmed and no shots have been fired from our side,’’ Bogdanov said.

“The officers have barricaded themselves inside the building and negotiations are ongoing.

“Even though we have the authorisation to use weapons in self-defence, we are not doing so and will not do so,” he said.
