Asian markets ended mostly lower on Friday, following the broadly negative cues overnight from Wall Street, as Ukraine's nuclear regulator said a fire broke out at a building on the site of the country's biggest nuclear power plant after shelling by Russian forces. Traders also remain worried as the sanctions imposed on Russia along with the subsequent surge in oil prices could derail the economic recovery. Chinese stocks ended lower on worries over the worsening Ukraine crisis and property market uncertainties. Japanese shares fell the most in two weeks as the Russia-Ukraine conflict entered its ninth day.
