Armed hostilities broke out between Ukrainian troops and members of the military intelligence service (HUR) in a conflict over which of them rented out a clinic, Ukrainskaya Pravda has reported.
\nOn Wednesday evening, HUR members stormed into the October sanatorium on the outskirts of Kiev, \u201cknocking down the gates and breaking down the fence,\u201d the outlet wrote, citing law enforcement sources.
\nThe military intelligence forces fired their guns into the air and ground and took ten soldiers captive, causing them \u201csignificant injuries,\u201d the newspaper added.
\nThey later reportedly released the soldiers and barricaded themselves inside, refusing to let local law enforcement and military police in.

According to the newspaper, however, the soldiers had leased the sanatorium from the owners and were using it in accordance with the local military administration and the orders of the Ukrainian Ground Forces.
\nNeither side lodged a formal complaint with the police before the violence broke out, a law enforcement source was cited as saying.
\nRussian forces have recorded multiple cases of friendly fire by Ukrainian units in the conflict, due to the low level of coordination between them, TASS reported earlier this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
