Russian helicopters crossed the Ukrainian air border in the area of the counter-terrorism operation in eastern Ukraine, the National Security and Defence Council said. 

"Our border guards registered six Russian helicopters flying 4 km into Ukraine near the settlement of Illienkove, and returning later," the Council’s information centre spokesman Andriy Lysenko said on Thursday. Border guards checked the area and found mortar positions and military ammunition items, he said.
