Just in from the French news agency AFP:

DONETSK, Ukraine, Oct 08, 2014 (AFP) -- Ukraine's eastern city Donetsk was under artillery fire Wednesday, with at least two people killed when shells hit an area northeast of the city center, AFP correspondents saw.

Rocket fire hit a neighborhood of the train station in the afternoon in the city controlled by the pro-Russian separatists. AFP correspondents saw two dead bodies near a cafe in the area.

Several injured people could be seen in the area after shells also hit a supermarket, a sports store, and a residential building.

Donetsk has come under increased fire in recent days despite a cease-fire between Kyiv and the pro-Russian separatists there, although it is often impossible to determine the origin of the attacks.
