Crowd storms state prosecutor's office in tense eastern city

(1 May 2014) Anti-government demonstrators in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk stormed the local prosecutor's office on Thursday. Riot police fired stun grenades as the protesters moved on the building, throwing rocks, but some demonstrators wrested shields away from officers who then took shelter inside the building. It wasn't immediately clear if the protesters had also entered the building. The clashes came after a march by several hundred people carrying flags of the Donetsk People's Republic, a movement that seeks either greater autonomy from the central government, or independence and possible annexation by Russia. Donetsk is the heartland of support for Russia-friendly former President Viktor Yanukovych, who was ousted in February after months of protests in the capital. Opponents of the government that succeeded him have seized buildings in about a dozen cities and towns in eastern Ukraine.
