A soldier has died and six others have been injured after heavy shelling by pro-Russia separatists in eastern Ukraine, it has been claimed.
The Ukrainian military announced the casualties on Wednesday, which it said had taken place within the past 24 hours as ceasefire violations remain at a high level.
The military said on its Facebook page it had recorded 96 incidents of shelling by separatists over the last day compared with 84 a day earlier.
