Attacks have resumed on Mariupol’s steel works, despite hundreds of civilians remaining trapped inside, a Ukrainian officer has said.
The Azovstal plant was being shelled by “all kinds of weapons”, National Guard commander Denys Shlega said on Monday.
On Sunday a number of civilians who had sheltered inside the last resistance stronghold managed to escape.
But “several dozen small children are still in the bunkers underneath the plant”, the commander said.
The shelling on the plant in the southern port city, which has been under intense Russian bombardment for weeks, began as soon as the civilians who had been evacuated left, he told Ukrainian television.
