Ukraine: 'Dozens' of civilians killed in convoy

"Dozens" of civilians were killed in a rebel shelling attack Monday on a convoy of refugees trying to flee war-torn eastern Ukraine, a top Ukrainian defense official said.

 

Col. Andriy Lysenko, a spokesman for Ukraine's National Security Council, told reporters Monday he did not have an exact figure but said dozens of people have died, including children.

 

The separatist rebels fighting the Ukrainian government had no immediate comment on his statement.
