11 killed in Ukraine army airstrike
2014-07-16
[Iran Press TV] At least eleven people have been killed in a Ukrainian army Arclight airstrike on a residential building in the eastern Donetsk region.

The air raid destroyed an apartment block in eastern Ukrainian city of Snizhne on Tuesday.

Regional officials say that eight people were also injured and a dozen buildings were destroyed during the attack.

A child and an elderly couple were among the casualties.

The attack is the latest in Ukraine's push to eliminate pro-Russian protesters from its restive eastern regions.

On Sunday, an artillery shell fired from Ukraine hit a residential area in Russia's Rostov region, killing one person and injuring two others.

The Russian Rostov region has recently seen over a dozen shells hitting the area, which borders Ukraine's eastern Lugansk region, where Ukrainian troops are fighting pro-Russian forces.

...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
leaders are set to gather in Brussels on Wednesday to discuss the worsening situation in eastern Ukraine.

Ukraine's mainly Russian-speaking parts in the east have witnessed deadly festivities between pro-Russia protesters and the Ukrainian army since mid-April.
