Ten people were killed in shelling by pro-Russian separatists in the east Ukrainian port city of Mariupol on Saturday, the head of the Kiev-controlled Donetsk regional police said. The Mariupol city council said it knew of three confirmed deaths in the attack, with many people wounded, while the separatists denied firing at the city. Government-held Mariupol, on the Sea of Azov, lies on a coastal route from the Russian border to Crimea, which was annexed by Russia from Ukraine last March. "As a result of shelling by rebels of a residential sector of Mariupol ... 10 people have been killed," police chief Vyacheslav Abroskin said in a Facebook post.
