Ukraine's government troops have agreed to a new cease-fire with pro-Russian separatists in the Luhansk region.

Under the new agreement, hostilities will cease Friday, according to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. Igor Plotnitsky, the leader of Luhansk's rebel movement, also told Russia's Interfax news agency about the cease-fire, which will cover between 10 and 13 miles.
