International Red Cross confirms Swiss killed in Donetsk
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) confirmed that a Swiss staff member was killed on Thursday by a shell that landed close to its office in Donetsk, eastern Ukraine.       

"One of our colleagues, a Swiss national, was killed in Donetsk, Ukraine, when a shell hit close to our office. We're deeply distressed by this loss," ICRC spokesman Ewan Watson told Reuters.         

The independent aid agency was still trying to piece together what happened and was not disclosing the victim's name.

A mortar bomb hit a building used by the International Committee of the Red Cross in Ukraine's separatist-held city of Donetsk on Thursday, killing a Swiss citizen, Russian news agency Interfax quoted the rebels' defense ministry as saying.      

A Reuters witness at the scene saw the body of a middle-aged man lying at the entrance to the Red Cross building.
