Donetsk: Deadly blast hits market in Russia-held Ukraine city, officials say

At least 25 people have been killed in a shelling attack in the Russian-held city of Donetsk, the Moscow-installed leader of the region says.

Denis Pushilin said a Ukrainian strike, which also injured 20 people, had hit a busy market and that the casualty figures might change.

Russia's foreign ministry denounced the strike as a "barbaric terrorist attack" against civilians.

There has so far been no comment from Ukraine on the incident.

BBC News was not able to immediately verify the circumstances around the strike. read more
