Heavy combat rages in Ukraine-held eastern city

Ukraine says its forces are enduring intense Russian shelling in the eastern city of Lysychansk, but denies claims that they are surrounded.

It is the last Ukrainian-held city in Luhansk, part of the industrial Donbas region. Russia captured the nearby city of Severodonetsk last month.

"We barely have time to put out the major fires in Lysychansk," Luhansk governor Serhiy Haidai said.

Russia has also fired more missiles at cities in the north and south.

Railway tracks and electricity lines in the northern city of Kharkiv were damaged in a series of attacks. No casualties were reported.

The southern city of Mykolaiv - on a key route to the port city of Odesa - was shaken by several explosions.
