So apparently the convoy that was parked on the Russian side of the border that was for "aid", decided to cross in the middle of the night and Ukrainian forces destroyed a good portion of it. The Ukrainians said that it was a ploy to supply arms to the rebels. Allegedly many of the captured and destroyed vehicles were for military purposes and were not what would be considered humanitarian aid (of course, Russia is denying it).
