http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/ukraine-10-civilians-die-rebel-shelling-checkpoint-28188952 An attack on a passenger bus in eastern Ukraine killed 12 people Tuesday, likely dealing the final blow to hopes that a short-lived and shaky cease-fire could take hold.
Across Donetsk, the city that Russian-backed separatists call their capital, explosions and the sound of shells whistling overhead are again unnerving the local population. The holiday period was spent in relative tranquility after a new truce was called in December between government troops and Russian-backed militia. But by late last week, that uneasy calm was steadily unraveling.
In the single largest loss of life so far this year, civilians traveling on a commuter bus from Donetsk were killed Tuesday afternoon by what Ukrainians say were rockets fired from a Grad launcher in rebel territory. Regional authorities loyal to Kiev said the bus was passing a Ukrainian army checkpoint at the time, putting it in the line of fire.

Putin's mass murder continues and war on the edge of Europe rages on thanks to Russian aggression

Your headline is not the headline of the article which claims artillery from rebel areas hit a bus

So far, there's only one side in this conflict that has been attacking civilians, and that's the Nazis in Kiev.
This is one place where I really didn't expect to find over-the-top war propaganda being pushed, very disappointed to see it.

Can't believe DU tolerates an over-the-top war propagandist like yourself here. It's shameful.
