ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine - Russia launched an assault on the encircled Azovstal steel works in Mariupol, Ukraine's last redoubt in the port city, after a ceasefire broke down on Tuesday with some 200 civilians trapped underground despite a UN-brokered evacuation.
Russian forces tried to storm Azovstal on Tuesday, the head of Mariupol's patrol police told Ukrainian media. The attack began after Russian aircraft bombed the site overnight, a deputy commander of the Azov regiment in the steel works told Ukraine's Pravda news outlet. "No one can assume that the Russian president and government will not on other occasions break international law with violence," Scholz said.
A first column of evacuees reached the Ukrainian-controlled city of Zaporizhzhia on Tuesday. Mariupol mayor Vadym Boychenko said more civilians were trapped in bunkers and tunnels under the complex and some 100,000 remained in the rest of the city.
