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.
Crimea has always been an integral part of Russia in the hearts and minds of people, Putin said.

Ukraine Troops Allowed to Fire in Defense After Officer Killed
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.

Ukraine says officer killed at Crimean base
Ukraine says one of its soldiers has been killed in Crimea in the first case of bloodshed since Russian troops and pro-Kremlin militia seized the rebel peninsula almost three weeks ago.
Regional defence ministry spokesman Vladislav Seleznyov said the soldier had died on Tuesday after being shot in the neck when a group of gunmen stormed a Ukrainian military base in the northeast of Crimea's main city of Simferopol.
Seleznyov did not specify whether the base was stormed by Russian soldiers or pro-Kremlin militia who also patrol the peninsula.
The spokeman said another soldier was wounded in the attack.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday signed a treaty claiming the Black Sea region of Crimea as Russian territory, setting of a firestorm of condemnation from Kiev and the West.
Russian forces had seized the peninsula Crimea at the beginning of March after the toppling last month of the pro-Kremlin regime in Ukraine and the rise to power of a new Western-backed administration that is seeking closer ties with the European Union.
Ukraine's Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk told an emergency government session in Kiev that his country's conflict with Russia was entering a "military stage".
"The conflict is shifting from a political to a military stage," Yatsenyuk told a nationally televised meeting that was also attended by acting president Oleksandr Turchuynov.
"Russian soldiers have started shooting at Ukrainian military servicemen, and that is a war crime."
Ukraine's navy chief Sergiy Gayduk said that an officer had been shot and injured in the leg "during an attack against a base in Simferopol".
