Russian forces still attacking Mariupol steelworks - authorities

From Morning Report, 6:51 am on 28 April 2022

Authorities say Russian forces are continuing to attack the Azovstal steelworks in the southern port city of Mariupol, where fighters and some civilians are holed up.

Russian President Vladimir Putin last week said his forces would halt their attack on the industrial complex - the last part of the port city not under Russian control - and instead block its exits.
