Separatists accuse Ukraine of bombing a winery that leaked ammonia

Pro-Russian separatists have accused Ukraine of bombing a liquor factory in the eastern city of Donetsk, killing one person and causing an ammonia leak, Interfax news agency reported.

The Emergencies Ministry of the Russian-backed Donetsk People’s Republic reported that a shell hit the ammonia line late at night, setting off a fire that at one point covered 600 square metres.

Archyde.com pictures from the site showed flames lighting up the sky over part of the city, as well as firefighters wearing masks. One of the photos appeared to show a dead body on the ground.
