FIGHTING RAGES NEAR UKRAINIAN CITY OF MARIUPOL -------------------------------------------- Over 20 houses in the eastern Ukrainian town of Sartana were damaged by shells on Tuesday, as fighting between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian separatists in the area flared up. Residents said it is a miracle that no one was killed and blamed Ukrainian troops for firing at rebel positions from the town, provoking return fire. Sartana is located just 20 kilometres outside the strategic port of Mariupol. Shelling in the area intensified in the past few days. UKrainian forces at the weekend launched a counter-offensive to reclaim ground lost to separatists near the international airport in the big city of Donetsk, which said this had damaged the prospects for four-power summit on the conflict.
