6 killed, 15 wounded in east Ukraine city
Shelling killed six people and wounded 15 others in the rebel stronghold of Donetsk, the city council said Monday – the worst reported violence since a cease-fire between Russian-backed rebels and Ukrainian troops took effect on Sept. 5.
Fighting around the eastern city's government-held airport has left its northern neighborhoods in the crossfire. Two northern neighborhoods were shelled heavily Sunday, leading to the casualties and damaging both homes and offices, the city council said.
