Ukraine announces death of soldier by pro-Russian separatist bombings

The Ukrainian military says a soldier has been killed in a bomb blast near the northern city of eastern Ukraine on Saturday morning.

The bombings this week have raised concerns that they could trigger Russian military action.

The Ukrainian military said on its Facebook page that it had recorded 19 ceasefire violations by separatists since the beginning of the day, compared to 66 cases in the past 24 hours.

The separatists opened fire on more than 20 settlements, using heavy artillery, something that has been banned by the Minsk agreements, the military said.

Incidents of bombings along the line separating government forces and separatists have risen sharply this week, with the Ukrainian government calling it a provocation. He vehemently denied Russia’s suggestions that Kiev could launch an attack on eastern Ukraine.

The Minsk agreements are aimed at ending an eight-year conflict between the Ukrainian army and separatists in the east of the country.
