"The Moscow Times" and Interfax [update: and now the "Kyiv Post," spelling his surname Dolhov] report that the editor of two Russian-language periodicals from Ukraine's eastern city of Mariupol has reportedly been found dead. Konstantin Dolgov, the editor of the Glagol online news portal, wrote on the VKontakte social network on July 13 that the body of Sergei Dolgov had been found in a park in the city of Dnipropetrovsk bearing evidence of torture.
There has been no official confirmation of Dolgov's death.
His colleagues say he was abducted in Mariupol in mid-June.
A man identified as Konstantin Dolgov alleges that soldiers of the Ukrainian Dnepr-1 territorial defense battalion were involved in the abduction. That information does not appear to have been corroborated.
Sergei Dolgov was the editor of two local periodicals -- "Hochu v SSSR" (I Want To Be In The U.S.S.R.) and "Vestnik Priazovya" (The Azov Region Courier).
He was involved in a project on gathering data about alleged rights violations by Ukrainian law-enforcement officers amid Kyiv's ongoing offensive against pro-Russian separatists.
Military blogger Tymchuk weighs in, disputing an allegation that Ukrainian military forces bombarded civilians (in Snizhne in Donetsk region), causing casualties, saying Ukrainian authorities haven't conducted any aerial missions since yesterday's AN-26 downing.

Worth posting for the sake of the photo mashup she's holding:
Some video after blasts in Luhansk that some are blaming on "Russian artillery." It is not yet clear who is responsible.
