Residential areas of the two main rebel-held cities of Donetsk and Luhansk have regularly been hit by mortar rounds and rocket fire and the separatists have blamed the government for the attacks.
Wednesday's shelling in the south-western Kirovskiy district of the city came as EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini called for an immediate ceasefire to enable civilians to leave the conflict zone.
To the north-east of Donetsk, separatists have been trying to encircle government troops in the town of Debaltseve, a key transport hub, prompting local residents to flee.
