Dozens of armed men seized the regional government headquarters and parliament on Ukraine's Crimea peninsula on Thursday and raised the Russian flag.

The door of the parliament was blockaded from inside by tables and chairs, according to a Reuters correspondent on the scene in Simferopol.

Interfax news agency quoted a witness as saying there were about 60 people inside and that they had many weapons. It said no one had been hurt when the buildings were seized early on Thursday.
