KYIV, Ukraine (AA) - A Ukrainian soldier was killed and another injured on Sunday due to shelling by Russia-backed separatists in the eastern Donbas region.
Russia-backed separatists violated cease-fire five times from midnight to 5 p.m. local time, the Ukrainian armed forces said in a statement.
There has been a recent spike in violence in Donbas where Kyiv's troops have battled separatist forces since 2014.
