DONETSK, Ukraine (Reuters) - A director of a mine in a rebel-held part of east Ukraine has been arrested over a blast that killed 34 miners last week, separatist press service DAN reported on Monday, quoting prosecutors.

The man, who was not named, was detained on suspicion of "violating mining rules" at the Zasyadko site in the city of Donetsk, said DAN which is seen as the official news agency for rebel forces.
