One Ukrainian serviceman was killed and two were wounded in shelling attacks by pro-Russian separatists on Saturday near the port of Mariupol in Ukraine's southeast, Kiev's military said, according to Reuters. A military spokesman said rebels opened artillery fire on forces from the government's National Guard at Shyrokyne, a village to the east of Mariupol on the Sea of Azov, despite a ceasefire agreed in Minsk, Belarus, in mid-February. "Today at 0625 hours, the adversary used 122 mm artillery. They are banned under the Minsk agreements," spokesman Dmytro Gorbunov told 112 television channel, adding that a 42-year-old Kiev-born serviceman was killed as a result and two others were badly wounded.
