Pro-Russian troops have taken over a ferry terminal on the eastern-most tip of Crimea, intensifying fears that Moscow will send yet more troops.

The terminal in the Ukrainian city of Kerch is about 12 miles by boat to Russia.

Soldiers are operating the terminal, which serves as a common departure point for many Russian-bound ships. The men refused to identify themselves, but they spoke Russian and the vehicles transporting them had Russian licence plates.
