Intro:

Young girl has lucky escape just outside Ukraine's Donbass Arena.

Script:

This was the moment an explosion in Ukraine caused debris to fall within inches of a young girl, outside the home of Shakhtar Donetsk.

CCTV captured the incident just outside the Donbass Arena, as the explosion shook the largest rebel-controlled city in eastern Ukraine.

Daily battles continue in the region despite a nominal ceasefire being in place.

The young girl had an amazingly lucky escape and as soon as she made it to her feet scrambled inside for safety.

It wasn't immediately clear what caused the blast, which occurred at or near a rubber processing factory, or whether there were any casualties.

Shockwaves from the explosion damaged buildings and were felt over a radius of several kilometres.
