Warplane bombs town of Snizhne in east Ukraine

A warplane has attacked a rebel-held town with rockets in eastern Ukraine, shattering homes and killing at least four people.

Rockets struck the Donetsk region town of Snizhne, hitting a block of flats and a tax office. The rebels blamed the attack on Ukraine's air force - a claim denied by Ukrainian sources.

A video posted on YouTube shows people in what appears to be Snizhne sifting through the rubble of an apartment block on Lenin Street.
