KIEV (Reuters) - Rocket strikes hit Ukraine's military headquarters in the east of the country and a nearby residential area on Tuesday, wounding many army personnel and civilians, President Petro Poroshenko said.
A Reuters photographer saw a dead woman's body after one rocket attack in Kramatorsk, a town about 50 km (30 miles) from front-lines and from where Kiev's military directs its campaign against pro-Russian separatists.
"Twenty-five minutes ago, the main headquarters of our anti-terrorist operation took a strike from a Tornado rocket. The headquarters took this strike, but a second strike was carried out on residential areas of Kramatorsk," Poroshenko told parliament.
"There is information about wounded service personnel. There is information about a significant number of wounded among civilians," he added.
The government-controlled Donetsk regional administration said the rockets had been fired from the rebel-controlled Horlivka area, which is about 50 km away from Kramatorsk.
Regional police said at least one civilian had been killed and six wounded in the strike on Kramatorsk.
