Ukraine conflict getting worse

Intense shelling has left Avdiivka, a community of 20,000 people located just north of Donetsk, without electricity, heat or water during a particularly frigid cold spell that's seen temperatures drop to -22 C at night.

But it's not the cold residents dread the most; it's the threat of lethal Grad rockets, a type of unguided heavy artillery developed by the Soviet Union.

On the outskirts of town Wednesday, a distraught 24-year-old woman was being consoled by an older woman. Nearby, lying under a blanket in the freezing cold, was the body of the young woman's mother, Katya Volkova, 60. She'd been out for a walk at 7:30 a.m. when she was struck by shrapnel from a Grad strike near her home.
