Reports from pro-Kyiv authorities in Luhansk say shelling in Popasnaya has increased daily, with many rockets, like this one, striking residential areas.
(Paywall!)
Death toll is still unclear, with this being the highest toll so far citing official sources.
This report from our newsroom, but note that it is still exclusively pro-Russian or Russian sources:
Pro-Russian separatists and Russian media report that at least five people have been killed by an explosion at a public transport stop in the rebel-held Ukrainian city of Donetsk.
The Interfax news agency cited an official with the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, Eduard Basurin, as saying preliminary reports indicated that nine people were killed.
Another separatist official was cited as saying five people were killed, while state-run Russian channel Rossia-24 reported that 13 people were killed and many more injured.
The cause of the reported explosion was unclear but some reports said it was a shell that hit a trolleybus or a bus.
More than 4,800 people have been killed since April in a conflict between the separatists and Ukrainian govermnent forces.
