    Several houses were on fire in the residential quarters of the rebel-held Donetsk in eastern Ukraine after fresh shelling just before sunset on Tuesday (June 9) as Ukrainian government forces continue battling pro-Russian separatists.
    As the shelling continues around the Donetsk airport despite the ceasefire, several shells landed on houses in the Oktyabrsky district of Donetsk, the largest city in eastern Ukraine which is under the control of the rebels .
    This area is one of the residential areas that has taken the most damage since the beginning of the conflict, and local residents complain that shelling continues on a daily basis.
    A ceasefire between the two sides brokered in February by the leaders of Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France remains technically in force, but regular skirmishes are claiming lives almost daily on both sides.
