In the small town of Chasiv Yar, not far from Ukraine's eastern frontlines, rescue workers were still searching through the wreckage left by Saturday's multiple rocket strike. At least 43 people died, one of the biggest losses of life in Ukrainian-controlled Donbas since a single Russian rocket killed at least 52 people at the train station in the nearby town of Kramatorsk in April.

The rescuers had managed to pull nine people out of the rubble but by Tuesday, they told the Guardian, they expected to recover only corpses.
