DONETSK, Ukraine (AP) — Heavy fighting may have killed dozens of pro-Russia rebels in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region.

A pro-Russia fighter says the bodies of at least 30 fellow rebels have been brought to a hospital.

The area saw heavy fighting Monday, when rebels moved to seize the city airport.

The insurgents were met by government forces, who used combat jets and helicopter gunships.
