First evidence of assault-rifle and sniper rifles use by government forces

This is probably yet another case of way too little and way too late, but I suppose that this is better than nothing. It is, however, still pathetic that it took 13 dead policemen killed by opposition snipers to finally convince the regime to deploy counter-sniper teams. Let's hope that Yanukovich will not condemn these guys tomorrow morning and blame the violence on them (like he did with the Berkut forces).
