Two teenagers have been killed by shelling while playing football on a school field in the rebel-held city of Donetsk in Ukraine.
Witnesses say at least four more people were wounded.
Local reports suggest the incident happened about 2-3km (1-1.5 miles) from Donetsk airport, where separatists have been fighting to seize control from government forces.
Clashes have continued despite a ceasefire declared on 5 September.
A Donetsk city council statement said: "As a result of a missile strike from the conflict zone two teenagers were killed and a further three were injured on a school sports field."
The deaths came as Vladimir Putin expressed concern that the ceasefire had failed to end a civil war that has killed more than 4,000 people - mainly civilians - since February.
"Despite the Minsk agreements, firing on peaceful cities continues and civilians are still dying," the Russian President is quoted as saying by the RIA news agency.
The Ukrainian leadership and pro-Russian separatists blame each other for truce violations.
Meanwhile, German Chancellor Angela Merkel believes the West should consider adding Ukraine's rebel leaders to sanction lists after they held disputed elections on Sunday.
"We should take another look at possibly listing certain people who are now in charge in eastern Ukraine after these illegitimate elections," she said
Mrs Merkel stressed there were no immediate plans to reverse EU sanctions against Russia.
"We would like to lift the sanctions but that is not the situation as I see it," she said.
