Blast casts shadow over peace deal

A blast killed at least two people and injured nine others during a march in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv on Sunday, casting a shadow over the 10-day-old cease-fire agreement.

The blast happened during a peaceful march marking the first anniversary of the regime change that has caused major upheavals in Ukraine and beyond.

According to the TASS news agency, one policeman and a civilian died in the blast, and three of the wounded were in serious condition.
