Tensions in the disputed region of Crimea reached new heights Tuesday as Ukraine said a military officer was killed shortly after Russia formally annexed the breakaway peninsula.
Interim Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk blamed Russian forceswhom he said stormed a Ukranian military outpost near the city of Simferopolfor the killing, and warned the conflict is shifting from a political to a military stage.
Today, Russian soldiers began shooting at Ukrainian servicemen, he said, according to AFP. This is a war crime.
His claim could not be immediately verified, but if true, it would mark the first fatality in clashes between the two countries militaries during the weeks-long crisis in Crimea.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, delivering a televised address to the countrys parliament on Tuesday, defended his countrys decision to absorb the region after it voted Sunday to split from Ukraine.

Ukraine defense officials Tuesday issued an order allowing Ukrainian soldiers in Crimea to use weapons to defend their lives after one of them was killed when a base came under attack.
Armed Russian soldiers stormed the Ukrainian military installation near Simferopol, the capital of Crimea, earlier Tuesday. The victim is the first such death since pro-Russia forces took control of the peninsula in February.
"The attackers were dressed in military uniforms of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation without insignia and armed with automatic weapons and sniper rifles," the statement posted on the defense ministry Facebook page read.
The statement added that Ukraine would also allow its military units stationed in Crimea to use weapons "to protect and preserve the life of Ukrainian soldiers."
The attack on the base in Simferopol happened shortly after Moscow signed a treaty on Crimea joining Russia.
