| A shell has killed four people at a school in the rebel-held east Ukrainian city of Donetsk, on the first day of classes, officials and witnesses say. | |
| Another six people died when a minibus was hit elsewhere in Donetsk. | |
| No children were apparently hurt when the school playground was shelled but a teacher and a parent were among the dead, witnesses told Reuters. | |
| The school is 4km (2.5 miles) from Donetsk airport, where rebels have clashed with Ukrainian troops. | |
| A fragile ceasefire has been in place in eastern Ukraine since 5 September but the truce has frequently been violated. | |
