Smoke still rises from a destroyed house that was damaged in Saturday's shelling in the Vostochniy district of Mariupol, Ukraine, Monday, Jan. 26, 2015. At least 5,100 people have been killed in eastern Ukraine since fighting began in April 2014, but violence this week was the most intense since a cease-fire deal was signed in September.

The city had been relatively quiet for months before Saturday's attack.(AP Photo/Evgeniy Maloletka)
