A woman and her child are seen in a bus at a checkpoint as they return to Luhansk. Five Ukrainian servicemen have been killed in the past four days, the military said Tuesday, underscoring the strains in a ceasefire between government forces and pro-Russian separatists that officials insist is still broadly holding. The ceasefire, agreed last Friday, is part of a peace plan meant to end a five-month conflict that has killed more than 3,000 people and caused the sharpest confrontation between Russia and the West since the Cold War.

Tester Niklas Thiel poses with an electroencephalography (EEG) cap that measures brain activity, at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM) near Munich. The researchers from TUM and the Technische Universitaet Berlin are trying to find ways to control an airplane with computer translated brain impulses without the pilot touching the plane’s controls. The solution, if achieved, would contribute to greater flight safety and reduce pilots’ workload.
