Almost 1,000 Dead Since Ukraine Truce - UN -- BBC
An average of 13 people have been killed daily in eastern Ukraine since a 5 September ceasefire came into place, the UN human rights commissioner says.
In the eight weeks since the shaky truce came into force, the UN says 957 people have been killed, amid continuing violations on both sides.
