STORYLINE:
Through the debris-strewn rooms of the bomb-blasted house, the incessant ringing of a phone punctuates the crunch of broken glass splintering underfoot as police lay out a body bag.
But the call will never be answered.
The phone's owner crouches lifeless on the floor of his home, in a front room where the explosion from a missile - one of several to hit this eastern Ukrainian town - found him.
The missiles that rained down on Pokrovsk Saturday night and into the early hours of Sunday were part of a barrage of attacks on towns in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region that left at least 10 people dead, according to Donetsk governor Pavlo Kyrylenko.
They came as Ukraine pressed forward with a counteroffensive just to the north in the Kharkiv region, pushing Russian forces into a retreat from key areas.
Six of the dead were in Pokrovsk, mayor Ruslan Trebushkin said in a message posted on Telegram.
The industrial town about 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the front line had been hit twice before by missiles, in May and July, but never before by so many in one night.
