DONETSK, Feb 7 (AFP): Five civilians and five government soldiers were killed in the latest fighting in east Ukraine, government and pro-Russian rebel officials said Saturday.
Over the past 24 hours four civilians were killed by shelling across government-held territory while one local resident died in rebel bastion Donetsk, officials from the two warring sides said.
Clashes with pro-Moscow insurgents over the same period claimed the lives of five government soldiers and wounded 26 more, Ukraine's military said.
Missile fire on Saturday hit east Ukraine's battleground town of Debaltseve a day after a brief truce allowed hundreds of civilians to flee, government officials said.
"In Debaltseve since 6:00 am this morning rebels have been firing Grad rockets," Kiev-loyal regional police chief Vyacheslav Abroskin said.
