Russian tanks fired on at least one apartment building in the south-eastern city of Mariupol on Friday, sparking fires and sending thick, dark smoke rising into the sky. It wasn’t possible to tell whether they’d first received fire from the targeted locations. The encircled city of 446,000 people has suffered some of the greatest misery from Russia’s war in Ukraine. Ukraine’s military said Saturday that Russian forces had captured Mariupol’s eastern outskirts, tightening the armed squeeze on the strategic port.
