Blasts Heard in Eastern Ukraine, Woman Reportedly Killed

VOA News

Residents of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine said heavy shelling could be heard Sunday near the airport, raising new fears that a tenuous cease-fire signed Friday by rebels and the Kyiv government is on the verge of collapse.

A spokesman for Ukraine's national security council in Kyiv said rebels in Donetsk appear to have tried to attack the airport. The airport has been under the control of government troops since May.

Meanwhile, officials in Mariupol said Sunday one woman was killed and at least four people were wounded in the renewed shelling that erupted overnight in the port city.

The death is the first reported civilian casualty since the truce was declared.

于此同时,马里乌波尔的官员称,在这个港口城市夜间爆发的炮击导致一名妇女丧生,三人受伤。

这名妇女遇难是宣布停火协议后最新报道的一例死亡事件。

US Airstrikes Target Islamic State Extremists

VOA News

The U.S. military says it has launched airstrikes in western Iraq near Haditha Dam, which is under threat from Islamic State militants.

U.S. officials said Sunday Iraq remains in control of the dam, but the offensive was initiated to beat back insurgents who are trying to seize control of the dam.

U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, speaking in Georgia Sunday, said securing the Haditha Dam was crucial.

Hagel said: "If that dam would fall into ISL's hand, or if that dam would be destroyed, the damage that that would cause would be very significant. And it would put a significant and big risk into the mix in Iraq."

The U.S. military has also launched airstrikes against Islamic State militants in northern Iraq, targeting fighters and military hardware near the town of Irbil.

The U.S. Central Command has described the attacks as "a mix of attack, fighter and remotely piloted aircraft," saying the flights occurred Friday and Saturday.

In nearby Syria, monitors say Syrian government airstrikes targeting the Islamic State stronghold of Raqqa killed at least 25 people, including 16 civilians.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the civilians died in the bombing of a bakery operated by the extremist group. Other strikes hit an Islamic State training camp and a government finance building used as an Islamic court.

The northeastern city of Raqqa is the group's main foothold in Syria.
