RUSSIA - UKRAINE WAR 2022 | Fighting continues in key Ukrainian port city | LATEST NEWS TODAY

Fighting continues in key Ukrainian port city Mariupol, in southern Ukraine, has been the site of heavy attacks since the conflict with Russia erupted last Thursday. Last night was no different, with officials in the city saying: "We are being destroyed." Electricity and water systems have been knocked out as "relentless" shelling began to target civilian infrastructure in recent days. Officials say food deliveries have also been cut, while most phone networks are unavailable. Footage from the city on the Azov Sea captured blasts lighting up the night sky above abandoned streets overnight on Thursday. Mariupol is a key target for Russian forces, as severing Ukraine's access to the port would likely deal a crippling blow to its economy. Capturing the city, alongside Kherson, a port on the Black Sea, would provide Russia with a land corridor to Crimea, which it seized in 2014.
