At least 20 people are dead and 86 have been wounded after rebels shelled homes, shops, schools and a busy market in a strategically important city in southeast Ukraine.
The Interior Ministry said homes were alight and the mobile phone network had gone down after pro-Russian separatists fired long-range rockets on the port city of Mariupol in the region of Donetsk.
Pro Russian separatist leader Alexander Zakharchenko said the attack was the start of an offensive on the city.
It came the day after he said he was ripping up the September peach agreement and launching an all-out offensive aimed at seizing lands.
He was quoted by a Russian news agency as saying at a memorial service for eight civilians killed at bus stop: "Today an offensive was launched on Mariupol. This will be the best possible monument to all our dead."
Mariupol mayor Yuriy Khotlubei said in a video statement: "The shelling was carried out by militants. This is very clearly Russian aggression that has caused terrible losses for the residents of the eastern part of our city."
