Heavy Shelling Heard As Russian Convoys Approach Ukrainian Border.

Initial reports say people poured out of offices in the centre of the city after an evacuation warning sounded.

More than 100 lorries carrying Russian aid are heading towards a rebel-controlled border crossing in the Luhansk region.

There is continuing confusion over their final destination.

Russia has dismissed as absurd claims that its convoy is a pretext to send military supplies to the rebels.

But Ukraine has said the convoy must be inspected by international monitors before it can be let in.
