Truce crumbles amid gunfire in Ukraine, protesters claim 100 dead
Kiev, Ukraine (CNN) -- A short-lived truce crumbled Thursday as gunfire erupted at Independence Square, the center of anti-government protests and an increasingly violent crisis that threatens catastrophe for this divided nation.
The head of the protesters' medical service said 100 people died and 500 were injured in fighting on Thursday, just hours after the government declared a truce in fighting that had shocked world leaders with the deaths of 28 people two days before.
