An amended ceasefire-deal was signed between the Ukrainian government and separatist militants amidst shelling and explosions in eastern Ukraine on Saturday morning.
Under the new cease-fire agreement, both sides are not permitted to advance beyond the positions that they held on Friday and are expected to move all heavy artillery 9 miles away from their front lines, reports the New York Times.
The extended cease-fire agreement came as Russian military trucks arrived in Donetsk carrying what the Russian government said was humanitarian aid.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
