A series of rocket attacks has left 30 people dead and many more injured in the city of Mariupol in east Ukraine.

East Ukraine's main rebel leader claimed he had begun an offensive against Mariupol, but later said he would only target the city's defences. Initial reports stated that Alexander Zakharchenko, head of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, had claimed responsibility but after another separatist leader denied they were involved he said his forces had not carried out "active operations" near Mariupol.

The incident comes a day after Mr Zakharchenko said he did not want truce talks with Kiev. On Saturday he claimed the Mariupol offensive would be "the best possible monument to all our dead".

The Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) said the rockets came from rebel-held areas.

Yea, I'm surprised they are going about it so slowly, though clearly they and their Russian allies are on the march in a lot of spots in Eastern Ukraine.
