Baku, November 7, AZERTAC

The United States on Thursday backed a Ukrainian investigation into the shelling of a school in rebel-held eastern Donetsk which killed two teenagers.

"We condemn the shelling of a school in Donetsk that left at least two children dead and wounded many others," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters.

"We certainly would support an investigation into this."

On Wednesday, heavy bombardments raged around Donetsk's former international airport, where government forces are holding out against besieging separatists. One shell landed in a nearby school football field and killed two boys aged 14 and 18.
