12 deaths, but its team in Donetsk saw seven
bodies after a series of shell blasts near the center of the city.
Five
of the bodies, concealed under sheets, could be seen at a spot by the
Hotel Europe, where a local billionaire has organized food aid handouts
by his staff. One man had died at the wheel of his car. A shell
apparently hit near where dozens of people were waiting in line for much
needed supplies.
Elsewhere, two more bodies could be seen where a trolley bus was hit.
Until now the fighting has largely been concentrated on the outskirts of the city near the airport.
But Friday the blasts moved significantly closer to the city center, where there are no obvious military targets.
It's not clear who is responsible for the shelling. In previous instances, each side has blamed the other.
What is clear is the mounting civilian death toll, with the ordinary residents of Donetsk being caught up in the fighting.
