What's your source for the 2 dead Ukrainian soldiers?

It was a shooting in Simferopol. I'd give you a link but I'd rather you look it up yourself and decide which source you want to believe. But a search will yield several results. They all say more or less the same thing. Russian troops stormed a Ukrainian military base and the Ukrainians fired back in self-defense. One killed on both sides (though I have seen Ukrainian casualties listed as two in some places) and several people were wounded. Some Ukrainian soldiers were captured as well, including a Colonel who I believe has since defected to the Russian side.
This is largely unsubstaniated yet depending on your source hence my previous statements. Stories vary from 1-2 Ukrainians dead with 1-8 injured, 1-2 Russians dead with 1-3 injured, and highly inconclusive numbers on defectors
For those who may not realize it yet my goal here is to relay information as I find it from various sources. If a source is suspect I may state it here as a claim or not at all depending on severity and if other sources state the same thing. I am avoiding primary US, UK, and Russian sources such a CNN, BBC, or ITAR except for when looking for reasons behind statements rather than the statements themselves.
