·A firefighter extinguishes a fire in a house after shelling on the 17th day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, in Kyiv on Saturday.There was no immediate word of casualties from the shelling of the mosque. Mariupol has seen some of the greatest misery from Russia's war in Ukraine as unceasing barrages have thwarted repeated attempts to bring in food and water and to evacuate trapped civilians.
Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to Ukraine's Interior Ministry, said that Russian Maj.-Gen. Andrei Kolesnikov was killed in action during the fighting over Mariupol. He would be the third Russian general to die in the war, according to Ukrainian officials.What happened in Week 3 of Russia’s assault in Ukraine: Mariupol hospital bombed, Kyiv tensions rise, refugees fleeWARNING: This video contains graphic images at 6:19.
Kyiv's mayor, former heavyweight boxing champion Vitali Klitschko, said the capital had enough essential supplies to last a couple of weeks. Supply lines remained open, he said. The ongoing bombardment forced crews to stop digging trenches for mass graves, so the "dead aren't even being buried," the mayor said. An Associated Press photographer captured the moment when a tank appeared to fire directly on an apartment building, enveloping one side in a billowing orange fireball.
The hospital's head doctor, Maksim Beznosenko, said several hundred patients were in the facility during the attack but no one was killed. As part of a multi-front attack on the capital, the Russians' push from the northeast appeared to be advancing, a U.S. defence official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to give the U.S. assessment of the fight. Combat units were moved up from the rear as the forces advanced to within 30 kilometres of Kyiv.
