(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency) The death toll in the conflict in eastern Ukraine has topped 4,600, the United Nations said Saturday, according to dpa.
About 10,000 soldiers, pro-Russian rebels and civilians have been
injured since the fighting began in April and at least 1.1 million
people have fled the conflict zone, it said.
The death toll rose to at least 4,634 after more than 300 people were

September.
