INTERNATIONAL: An oil depot in the city of Makiivka outside Donetsk caught on fire during a shelling on Wednesday, causing one person killed and 10 seriously wounded.

Raging flames engulfed four 5,000-tonne oil tanks after the attack.

The site was the target of a missile strike by the Ukrainian military, local authorities said on the same day, without providing evidence to support the claim.

Also grad rockets hit an amusement park in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city.

The State Emergency Services (SES) said the fire broke out in a park in central Kharkiv on Tuesday after it was hit by Russian shelling.

According to SES, a total of seven fire engines were at the scene and eventually contained the blaze.

One woman suffered shrapnel wounds from the shelling, added SES.

Kharkiv, which lies close to Ukraine's eastern border with Russia, has seen heavy shelling since fighting broke out in late February.

The Ukrainian government has not issued any official comment on the attack so far.
