Fighting continued between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian insurgents, with both sides accusing each other of an attack on apartments in Donetsk, and Ukraine and Russia trading accusations of border violations.
The Interfax news service cited a separatist commander, Igor Girkin, as saying 30 civilians were killed when Ukrainian artillery shelled the suburb of Maryinka in the west of Donetsk, one of the eastern cities that’s an insurgent stronghold. A Ukrainian military spokesman, Andriy Lysenko, said in televised comments that insurgents fired Grad rockets at the suburb. Pictures showed holes blasted in walls of apartment blocks.
