Heavy shelling hits Ukraine town where rebels reject ceasefire
A government-held town in east Ukraine sandwiched between two rebel-controlled areas came under heavy shelling on Monday, a day after the start of a ceasefire that Russian-backed separatists say does not apply there.
A Kiev military source said four Ukrainian soldiers were killed and 21 wounded in Debaltseve, a strategic railway junction town that has been the focus of most of the fighting in recent weeks.
A Reuters correspondent at Vuhlehirsk, about 10 km (6 miles) to the west, heard heavy shelling, with blasts around every 10 seconds.
