  Ukraine: Heavy smoke billows over Donetsk as fighting resumes

  A plume of black smoke was seen rising over the Donetsk skyline, Saturday as fighting reportedly resumed in the vicinity of the city's international airport. The facility, located six miles (10 kilometres) from the city centre, is contested by pro-Kiev forces and militants of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR/DNR).
  Since a truce agreement signed in Minsk on September 5 the airport has been a key site of conflict, with the UN recently reporting over 331 fatalities there post-truce. The airport has been reduced to rubble in large part, with the terminal building destroyed and the air traffic control tower seriously damaged.
