KIEV (Reuters) - Two Ukrainian serviceman have been killed in fighting with pro-Russian separatists in the separatist eastern region of Luhansk, the governor of the Kiev-controlled territory said on Tuesday. The incident took place on Monday, Hennadiy Moskal said in an online statement. Violence has intensified in recent weeks despite a ceasefire which was brokered in the Belarussian capital of Minsk in mid-February. Government forces and separatists regularly accuse each other of violations. (Reporting by Pavel Polityuk; Editing by Hugh Lawson)

Euro 2024: Scotland's moment on the international stage is over - with fans blaming one person
If Scotland's Euros exit can be blamed on anything it wasn't one moment - the anger at not being awarded a penalty - but the inability to get a shot on target against Hungary. Supporters, though, leaving the Stuttgart stadium in a rage were blaming one person: Steve Clarke. Little appreciation for the 60-year-old leading Scotland to back-to-back Euros.
