ウクライナ政府が新ロシア派に占拠されていた空港を攻撃しました。この行為により30名以上が死亡したとのことです。新大統領が決まり，ウクライナ政府は新ロシア派をテロリストと称し強硬な姿勢を貫いております。記事の名で気になった単語は"sporadic"です。『Wisdom英和辞典第三版（三省堂）』によると「不定期に起きる, 散発的な; 点在する」などという意味がありました。今後は，局地的におきている混乱に，政府は攻撃的な姿勢で望んでいくのだと思います。（Ume）

Ukraine unrest: Dozens die as Donetsk airport 'retaken'

At least 30 pro-Russia separatists were killed, the insurgents say, after an attempt to take over the airport early on Monday.

New President Petro Poroshenko had vowed to tackle "terrorists" in the east "within hours, not months".

Meanwhile, the OSCE says it has lost contact with a monitoring team.

The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe said four of its monitors were on a routine mission east of Donetsk. Contact was lost at 18:00 (16:00 GMT) on Monday and has not been re-established.

A spokesman told the BBC the monitors were Turkish, Swiss, Estonian and Danish, and all were male.

Seven international military observers linked to the OSCE were taken captive in eastern Ukraine in April and held for a week before being released.

Ukraine's Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said in a statement on Tuesday: "The airport is under our full control. The enemy suffered heavy losses. We have none."

He said operations were still continuing. A BBC team there heard sporadic gunfire.
