Heavy fighting continues at Mariupol’s Azovstal steel plant, where dozens of children are still trapped, the city’s mayor has said.

Speaking on Wednesday, Vadym Boichenko said more than 30 children remain holed up at the site, which is Ukraine’s last stronghold in the port city. He added that Ukrainian authorities had also lost contact with the soldiers who are stationed at the sprawling steelworks.
