According Ukrainan defence ministry has an Mi-24 crashed in central parts of Slavyansk. The helicopter get into the water, and no casaulties reported.

I also saw an Russian source claiming that 13 CIA members were killed in the helicopter crash, and a lot of other speculations. Were is no proof of that.

Other information on youtube showing an Mi-24 shooting missiles, claiming to be Slavyansk.

Armor is used by Ukrainan BTR and pro-Russian taken BMD.
