Over 65 killed in Kiev clashes

At least 67 people have been killed in two waves of violence between protesters and riot police that first broke out on Tuesday, Kiev city authorities said.

“Sixty-seven bodies had been delivered to the forensics bureau” by Thursday afternoon, the Ukrainian city administration said in a statement that provided the highest official casualty figure from the violence to date.

Opposition medics earlier said that 67 protesters had been shot dead by police on Thursday alone.
