Inside stricken Mariupol as 21,000 civilians killed and apartment blocks destroyed
The Daily Mirror says this aerial view of the stricken Ukrainian city of Mariupol shows how nearly every building has been ravaged by more than a month of continuous Russian bombardment.
Vast apartment blocks are now charred, hollowed-out wrecks, with most windows blown out, and barely a single structure on the skyline is still intact.
Smoke can be seen rising in the distance, an indication that the unrelenting shelling of civilian areas is ongoing, with Russian troops on the brink of overcoming staunch Ukrainian resistance in the key strategic port.
It comes amid growing signs that Russia could be on the brink of capturing devastated Mariupol, which had a population of 450,000 before the conflict started.
