in Donetsk told how children fled for their lives after coming under

It was a targeted strike on the school
It is not believed any pupils were killed but witnesses said the dead included a biology teacher and the parent of a child.

month because of the fighting.
The attack is said to have happened as children lined up for morning assembly.

saw three bodies and two shell craters in the playground and pools of
blood on the floor immediately inside the building.
A third body of a rebel in camouflage fatigues lay outside on the street.
The school is just 2.5 miles from the city's airport where pro-Russian rebels are battling Ukrainian troops.
At a nearby bus stop six people were killed after a mini van was destroyed.
