KIEV (Reuters) - Two teenagers were killed by shelling while out playing on a school sports field in the rebel-controlled city of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine on Wednesday, the city's administration said.

The deaths came a day after a separatist leader was sworn in as head of a self-proclaimed 'people's republic' in Donetsk, and a tenuous ceasefire declared on Sept. 5 showed further signs of strain.
