AP, Kiev :
Shelling killed six people and wounded 15 others in rebel-held Donetsk, the city council reported Monday – the worst violation yet of the cease-fire between Russian-backed rebels and Ukrainian troops that took effect Sept. 5.
Two northern neighborhoods were heavily shelled Sunday, leading to the casualties and damaging both residential and administrative buildings, the council said.
Fighting centered on Donetsk’s government-held airport has left many northern neighborhoods in the crossfire. Over the weekend, Ukraine said its troops repelled an attack of 200 rebel fighters, but suffered no military casualties.
Observers from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe say they were 200 meters (650 feet) away from four shells bursting Sunday in Donetsk
