Amended ceasefire agreement signed between separatists and Ukraine amidst shelling

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.
