An attack on a passenger bus in eastern Ukraine has killed at least 11 civilians, in a tragedy likely to deal the final blow to hopes that the country's short-lived and shaky cease-fire could take hold.
The holiday period across Ukraine was spent in relative tranquillity after a new truce was called in December between government troops and Russian-backed militia.
But it appears likely to collapse after at least 11 civilians travelling on a commuter bus from Donetsk were killed - and many more wounded - after what Ukrainians said were rockets fired from a Grad launcher in rebel territory.
