Civilians from Azovstal arrive in Zaporizhzhia

After weeks of living under siege, more than 170 civilians from the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol have arrived in Zaporizhzhia, Qazet.az reports.

Volodymyr Zelenskiy said yesterday that more than 300 civilians had been rescued from Azovstal. But Reuters is reporting that captain Sviatoslav Palamar, a deputy commander of Ukraine’s Azov regiment, cannot say for certain if all civilians have been evacuated from the plant as Ukrainian fighters are not able to check and clear all the bombed areas.
