13,000 Ukrainians evacuated through humanitarian corridors on Saturday

About 13,000 Ukrainians were evacuated through humanitarian corridors on Saturday, Ukraine's deputy prime minister has said almost twice the number who managed to leave on Friday.

Qazet.az reports that in an online message, Iryna Vereshchuk said no one had managed to leave the besieged city of Mariupol, blaming this on obstruction by Russian forces.

Moscow had earlier accused Ukrainian forces of intentionally trapping people there.
