Shelling killed 11 civilians and wounded eight more over the past 24 hours in the besieged rebel stronghold of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine, local authorities said Friday.
Fighting raged overnight in central and western districts of the insurgent-controlled industrial hub, the city council said in a statement.
Fierce mortar fire on Thursday pummeled the center of the city and also severely damaged a satellite town on the outskirts as Ukrainian forces tightened their vice on hunkered-down separatist fighters.
