The fighting in eastern Ukraine erupted in April and is believed to have claimed more than 1,000 lives. At the scene: The BBC's Fergal Keane in Donetsk
For three hours close to the railway station I watched as several hundred civilians fled past.
There was shelling throughout the morning, some from Grad rockets but also mortar fire and intermittent sniper shots.
Most of this seemed to be coming from the direction of villages on the road between the airport and the railway station.
It was impossible to be sure who was firing or in which direction. However we saw the aftermath of a rocket strike in the playground of an apartment complex close to the station - a rebel controlled area.
Next to the crater lay a pool of blood, a man's shoes and a pair of glasses.

The defence ministry said a Ukrainian military plane had flown within firing range of the airliner just before it came down - a claim denied by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko.
Analysts say there has been a change of dynamics in the attitude of the separatists who, after hampering access to the crash site, allowed international investigators on Monday to examine passengers' remains.
The bodies had been kept inside refrigerated train carriages at a railway station in the town of Torez, some 15km (9.3 miles) from the crash site.
The rebels also agreed for the bodies to be moved to Kharkiv, and to hand over two "black-box" flight-data recorders recovered from the crash site to a Malaysian team in Donetsk.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak earlier said he had received assurances from Alexander Borodai, the leader of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, that the rebels would co-operate.
Mr Borodai and international investigators were meeting in Donetsk on Monday evening to negotiate the handover of the black boxes.
