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.
