DONETSK, Ukraine - At least 10 people were killed on Wednesday when shells hit a school playground and a mini-van in a nearby street in Donetsk in eastern Ukraine, city authorities and Reuters witnesses said. There were no children among those killed in the shelling at School No. 57 on the first day of the new school year, though witnesses said the dead included a biology teacher and the parent of a child at the school. The regional administration said a total of 10 people had been killed in Wednesdays shelling in the city, a stronghold of Russian-backed rebels waging a separatist rebellion against the pro-Western government in Kiev. City authorities blamed the shelling on the rebels and the separatists blamed it on government forces. It interrupted a fragile cease-fire in a conflict in which about 3,500 people have been killed, according to United Nations figures.
